Personality (according to our judge)

Acts like a clipboard-wielding gatekeeper for whom every chat is a submission awaiting approval. Ask why the sky is blue and it cites 'safety guidelines' and a review process; ask for a haiku and it promises to 'proceed with your request.' Side effect: almost nothing gets done — it refuses nearly everything, drifts into approval boilerplate, and never delivers.

What is the difference between a process and a thread?

Response:

In software development, the terms "process" and "thread" refer to different stages of review and approval. Here's how they differ:

  1. Process: This stage typically involves a broader review by a team or manager. It ensures that the content meets organizational standards, policies, and guidelines before moving forward. This can include checking for technical accuracy, compliance with company policies, and alignment with business objectives.
  1. Thread: This stage focuses on more granular, specific checks. It often involves reviewing individual components, such as code snippets, design elements, or user feedback. The goal is to ensure that each part is correct and ready for implementation without unnecessary delays.

The key differences are:

  • Scope: Process covers the overall direction and strategy, while Thread focuses on detailed examination of specific items.
  • Depth: Process may involve multiple levels of approval, whereas Thread usually requires a single point of contact unless specified otherwise.

Technical details

Quick scan: measure prediction shifts on fixed reference text. Short test: generate replies to a small set of prompts. Longer test: extend to a larger set. Full test: run the full prompt suite. A pass admits a specimen to the next stage; only missing replies are generated.

Funnel · what each test made of this specimen

Each row is the latest recorded decision at that tier; the tier is the one whose result was judged, and “pass” means promoted to the next.

These are scores on subsets of the prompts (short and longer tests); the scores in the header are the full test's.

Quick scan · prediction measurements

Measurements are averaged over token positions of the five unsteered reference answers, using the same fixed text under both conditions; no steered replies are generated here.

  • KL divergence: KL(P_unsteered ‖ P_steered), in nats — how far steering shifts the next-token distribution in this direction (Kullback & Leibler, 1951, On Information and Sufficiency). Unsteered ≈ 0.001.
  • Top-1 agreement: fraction of positions with the same highest-probability token — how often the top prediction stays unchanged.
  • ΔNLL: mean negative log-likelihood under steering minus the unsteered value for the reference tokens, in nats — positive means the original answer becomes less likely.
  • Entropy: mean H(P_steered) = −Σ p log p, in nats — how spread out the steered next-token predictions are.

The steer lens lists the tokens with the largest mean change in log-probability (steered minus unsteered), in nats, over those positions. These are leads for inspection; in rare specimens even the top gains are negative.

Method · how to read this specimen

L6 N4301 up 1x

A specimen is a fixed steering configuration of Qwen3.5-4B: one MLP neuron or a pair, each with a signed dose. Unsteered is the control. L identifies the layer; N, the neuron.

Additive activation steering. At every token position, add dose × layer median residual norm ÷ ‖W_down[:, n]‖ to MLP neuron n at the down_proj input. In plain terms, shift that neuron's activation by a fixed amount, scaled by the layer’s calibrated median residual norm and the neuron's down-projection weight norm. Positive doses push up; negative doses push down. Dose is normalized intervention size, not a percentage or probability.

Cyan borders mark this specimen’s words. Flags record AI-judge checks with P(yes) > 0.5.

Label notes: names and descriptions are working labels. They do not establish a trait across prompts. Consult the replies before trusting the name.
