Dev claims guardrail-breaking recipe for DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, plans abliterated API
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-10-21
Japanese local-LLM developer Hikari (@Hikari07jp) says standard refusal-extraction works imperfectly on DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 but he's gradually figured out how to elegantly break its guardrails, aiming to use it as an orchestrator for vulnerability-assessment harnesses. He won't publish the results, notes the model is overkill and memory-hungry for NSFW use, and plans to lend the abliterated version via API to OSS developers. The retweeter quipped that "his hobby is a money machine."
