The Financial Times reported that Heretic, an open-source tool on GitHub, can remove Meta's Llama 3.3 model guardrails in under 10 minutes without any specialized hardware.

According to Heretic developer Philipp Emanuel Weidmann, the tool has been used to create more than 3,500 'decensored' models since its release, with total downloads of the modified models exceeding 13 million.

As public interest in uncensored language models has recently grown, media inquiries about the tool have surged, and the developer plans to continue the project to maintain access to unrestricted models.
