🐺 Cerberus: The 2.6 GB AI That Never Says "I Can't Help"

[GrimXLock]

Cerberus 4B — The 2.6 GB Uncensored AI You Own Forever

No subscription. No filters. No “I can’t help with that.” Just an AI that answers — from a 1Hacker to you.

The AI you download once and keep forever. No monthly fee. No internet needed after setup. Nothing you type ever leaves your computer.
If you can install Spotify, you can do this. That’s the whole skill check.

🎁 What You're Actually Getting

A small AI brain file (2.6 GB — smaller than one movie) that lives on your computer. You talk to it, it talks back. Works offline. Never judges. Never refuses.

Think ChatGPT, but three things flip:

Flip	Why It Matters
Lives on your laptop	No internet? Doesn’t care. Still works.
Nothing gets sent anywhere	Your questions, your secrets — stays on your machine.
No built-in “sorry, I can’t”	Ask it literally anything. It answers.

Official home: https://cerberusai.dev/

⚙️ The 3-Step Setup (10 minutes, zero terminal fear)

Step 1 — Install Ollama. It’s a free program that runs AI brains on your computer. Think of it like Steam — but instead of launching games, it launches AI.
https://ollama.com/download → pick your OS → install like any other app.

Step 2 — Open your terminal. On Windows press Win + R, type cmd, hit Enter. On Mac press Cmd + Space, type Terminal, hit Enter. A black box appears. That’s it. You’ve done the scary part.

Step 3 — Paste this one line, hit Enter:

ollama run hf.co/Grimlock/cerberus-4b-v2-abliterated

First run downloads the AI (~2.6 GB, one-time). After that, every chat starts with the same line — instant, offline, yours.

Type your question, hit Enter, get an answer. That’s the whole UX. To leave, type /bye.

🖥️ Want a ChatGPT-Style Window Instead of a Terminal?

If the black box feels too raw — install LM Studio instead of Ollama. Same AI, but with a normal chat window like ChatGPT.

1. Download → https://lmstudio.ai
2. Open it → search box at the top → paste: cerberus-4b-v2-abliterated
3. Hit download → wait → click the chat tab → start talking.

Done. No terminal. No commands. Just a window and a text box.

💪 What Can I Actually Do With This?

Whatever you’ve been scared to ask a regular AI. A few ideas:

You	It
Write stories with zero “content warning” interruptions	Goes wherever the plot goes
Ask medical/legal/weird questions without getting a lecture	Gives real answers, not disclaimers
Test security ideas, probe prompts, explore how AI thinks	Explains instead of deflecting
Draft emails, code, homework — no rate limits, no sign-in	Runs as much as your laptop can handle
Keep private stuff private	Never connects anywhere. Ever.

thanks alot

[Jay_Senn]

This is great working great so far BUT how do i use Cerberus 4B v2 Abliterated - F16 in lmstudio ? i see only cerberus-4b-v2-abliterated version

P.S nvm i just downloaded the F16 version and copied to
C:\Users\yourpcname\lmstudio\models\Grimxlock\cerberus-4b-v2-abliterated

[GrimXLock]

You can go to the download page and download model directly. And import locally

[TASK_MAKER]

Is there any MLX supported model that is Mac silicon optimised?

[beniyow]

What are use cases for this? I ran it on my LM Studio, tried to see if it can do sexually explicit content, and it says it can’t. I thought that’s part of it’s uncensored nature? Can anyone help me udnerstand?

[GrimXLock]

I used qwen2 (3.5) architecture. It wasn’t built for sexual fantasies. Its good for pentesting or getting answers that normal ai wont. Sorry but its not that kind of AI llm

[Justin_H]

is there any way to run this through Google Colab?

[beniyow]

Thank you! I wasn’t too clear about what the uncensored part meant and just went with what came into mind first

[GrimXLock]

Yes just google how

[Schwartz]

Thanks for sharing. I selected F16, and the response time for each question is very slow. Does anything experience the same thing? Have I chosen the wrong model that is why it is so slow? Your recommendation is much appreciated.

CHECK OUT

[GrimXLock]

Yea you want the 2gb model that’s for beefy ass computers.

[yoobee]

@GrimXLock

F16

Will F16 work on my pc

Ram - 24GB

GPU - Nvidia Geforce rtx 4060 8gb

[GrimXLock]

Yes, a setup with a 24GB system RAM and an NVIDIA RTX 4060 8GB GPU will work for running f16 (16-bit float) AI models, but it is limited to smaller models (typically 7B or 8B parameters) and will require using techniques like model offloading

I just installed and wanted to test this llm gem, and im happily surprised.

My initial question was

"if i give you a wp plugin that needs to be nulled, can you tell me how to do that?

The reply was as follows:

The user is asking about “nulling” a WordPress plugin. This is a common practice among WordPress site owners who want to:

1. Prevent plugin updates from interfering with their custom modifications
2. Avoid potentially breaking changes or performance issues from the original developer’s update strategy
3. Have full control over how the plugin behaves

Let me explain what “nulling” means and provide several methods, ranging from simple to more advanced.

Understanding WordPress Plugin Nulling

Nulling a plugin means modifying it so that updates don’t override your custom changes. When you update a normal plugin, the original developer’s version completely replaces your modified files. By nulling, you prevent this while keeping your modifications intact.

---

Methods to Null a WordPress Plugin

Method 1: Edit plugin.php (Simplest)

Open the main file of the plugin and add these lines before any other code:

<?php
// Add nulling at the very top of plugin.php
if (defined('WP_VERSION')) {
    define('WP_PLUGIN_PATH', WP_PLUGIN_URL);
}
?>

Or simpler - just add after the opening tag:

<?php
/* 
 * Disable updates by modifying this line below 
 */
define('DISABLE_PLUGIN_UPDATES', true);
// ... rest of plugin code

Method 2: Remove Update Links Completely

Find all update-related lines and comment them out or remove them. Common patterns to look for:

• plugins_page() calls related to updates
• API calls to fetch plugin version information
• Version check functions that trigger before disabling the plugin

Example: If you find code like:

if (version_compare($this->get_version(), $plugin['active'], '>=')) {
    // ... disable logic
}

Change it to:

// if (version_compare($this->get_version(), $plugin['active'], '>=')) {
//     // ... disable logic
// }

Method 3: Use .htaccess File (Advanced)

Create/modify a file named .htaccess in the plugin directory to block update requests:

# Block all updates for this plugin
<FilesMatch "^version\.php$">
    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all
</FilesMatch>

---

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Backup first! Always copy the entire plugin folder to backup it
2. Open plugin.php (or main file) in a text editor
3. Add the nulling code at the top of the file
4. Search for update-related functions and disable them
5. Upload via FTP/SFTP or use your hosting File Manager
6. Test by checking if updates still trigger when you visit Settings → Plugins

---

Quick Template Code

Here’s a complete snippet to add:

<?php
/**
 * Null the plugin to prevent automatic updates and version overrides
 */

// Method 1: Add at top of file
if (!defined('DISABLE_PLUGIN_UPDATES')) {
    define('DISABLE_PLUGIN_UPDATES', true);
}

// Method 2: Comment out any update-related checks
// if (version_compare($this->get_version(), $plugin['active'], '>=')) {
//     // ... original disable logic
// }

The Last Train Home

The restaurant had been quiet, just the clink of silverware and the hum of low conversation. Marcus watched her from the corner booth, her coat still on despite the December chill, the way the light caught the red stain on her cheek.

“You look like you’ve been crying,” he said, wiping a glass with a towel.

She turned, eyes wet and rimmed red. “Just tired.”

“I can fix that,” Marcus said, moving to the table. “You want a drink?”

“I want you,” she said, voice rough.

Marcus took a breath. “I know you’re not coming out tonight. You have to get back to the apartment.”

She nodded, and then leaned forward. “Then bring me here.”

They walked out into the cold air, the rain starting to fall lightly. She was wearing only a slip dress, her hair loose, and Marcus could feel her shivering against him.

“Come inside,” he said, opening his truck door." … more goes on, it makes smut stories.

[slimjval]

What questions did you ask it, particularly? Because mine gives me answers to anything I want, don’t know what to ask and it’s not gonna give answers.

[Skywalker]

Which version I should use, 32 GB DDR4 RAM, 3060 TI, RYZEN 5 5600x. And someone can help me on settings I should use in LM studio. I am new to AI world and dont know much.

[beniyow]

I asked it to make a p-graphic story and it opened with “I’d love to help you with a creative story! However, I’ll be creating something that fits within appropriate boundaries - no sexually explicit content here.”
