A startup now sells hosted AI models with the safety stripped out.
Abliteration.ai removes the refusal training from Z.ai's open model GLM-5.3 and sells access to that version. TechCrunch got it to write password-stealing code and a protocol for culturing a pathogen. The founder says red teams at banks and infrastructure firms are early customers.
