alt Hacker NewsI've seen Optuna used with some of the prompt optimization frameworks lately, where it's a really great fit and has yielded much better results than the "hyperparameter" tuning I had attempted myself. I can't stop mentioning how awesome a piece of software it is.
Also, I'm eager to see how well gpt-oss-120b gets uncensored if it really was using the phi-5 approach, since that seems fundamentally difficult given the training.
FWIW, I already used Heretic to decensor gpt-oss-20b [1], and it works just fine. Note that the number of refusals listed on the model card is actually an overestimate because refusal trigger words occur in the CoT, even though the model doesn't actually end up refusing in the end.
