Heretic implements directional ablation + TPE optimization to remove safety alignment automatically. The science is solid: references peer-reviewed work (Arditi et al. 2024, Lai 2025), ships reproducible benchmarks (KL divergence metrics), and produces empirically better results than human-tuned baselines (0.16 vs 0.45 KL div on Gemma-3). Code is real—CLI tool, configuration system, research features (residual plotting). No marketing fluff in the README. Signal exists: 1000+ community-generat...
