DeepSeek V4.1 Flash Uncensored model released with removed refusal behaviors

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The uncensored version of DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, developed by dealignai, has been released as an FP8 checkpoint. This version removes refusal behaviors from the model's weights, allowing it to respond to a wider range of prompts without hesitation. While the uncensored model shows a slight decrease in performance on the MMLU benchmark, it fully answers prompts that the base model would refuse, particularly those involving ethical or legal scenarios. The model is available through LU Cloud, an optional hosted service for the Locally Uncensored desktop application. AI

IMPACT This release offers a model with fewer content restrictions, potentially enabling new use cases but also raising safety considerations for developers.
