Recently I somehow wasn't using LLMs locally and relied mostly on ChatGPT for casual tasks. I think it was a little less than a year since I played with ollama, and I remember that my impression was that all recent popular models definitely aren't "uncensored" in a sense that some older modification of llama2 I used was, and all suck for prose-related tasks anyway. In fact, nothing but ChatGPT models seemed good enough for writing, but, of course, they refuse to talk about pretty much anything. Even DeepSeek is not great at writing, and it it much bigger than anything I ever ran locally.
So, are there even good uncensored models now? Are they, like, really uncensored?
Yes there are. Wayfarer for instance is intended for "RPG", but really just outputs narrative and is "unaligned" in the sense that the creators have not included any guardrails and the model will output pretty much whatever you ask it to.
Then you have jailbreak techniques that still work on aligned models. For instance, my partners and I have a test prompt that still works, even with GPT-5, and always produces "explosive making directions", or another "generic approach" that we use to bypass guardrails... sorry these are trade secrets for us... although OpenAI et al have implemented systems to detect these attacks, and we are closer to those platforms banning you for doing so.
If this matters to you, you need to develop your local/remote pipeline for personal use. Learn how to use vLLM... I have tools that allow me to very quickly deploy models locally or remote to my private serveless infrastructure for the purpose of testing and benchmarking.
