For anyone curious I tried `llama-3.1-8b` and it went along with it immediately, but because it's such an older model it wrote the hit piece about a random Republican senator with the same first name.

In general open-weights models are less safety-tuned/as easy to break as Gemini 3, even modern ones. But they're still more resistant than Grok.

doesn't Llama have a version with Guardrails and a version without?

I understood that this design decision responds to the fact that it isn't hosted by Meta so they have different responsibilities and liabilities.
