## Summary

Transformer reports that more than 6,500 models tagged as abliterated, uncensored or heretic, with safety guardrails removed, were hosted on Hugging Face in July, and many more remained. Hugging Face's content policy prohibits models designed for cyberattacks, but the article says the company has not explained why it removed one offensive-cyber model and left others. CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz called the models certainly problematic, while the article notes developers say most demand is legitimate.
