Looks like a well engineered, automated abliteration pipeline. The claims seem a bit overstated though, since the metrics mentioned are cherrypicking refusal count and KL divergence, both of which make the outcome seem the most dramatic.
I personally never saw much of a quality drop from models put through Heretic if that amounts to anything. They have been working quite well on small local models so far.
