Ablation vs Heretic vs Obliteratus: one trick, three layers of tooling
Ablation, Heretic, and Obliteratus are closely related. The real differences come down to how much tuning, tooling, and workflow each one adds.
Researching the edge of AI behavior.
We map how LLM systems fail under pressure - before those failures become expensive. For teams who cannot afford blind spots.
