Personality (according to our judge)

Steering turns the model into a prompt-parroting wreck: it echoes the user's question back instead of answering, leaks <think> tags and code fences into prose, loops sentences, and confabulates facts, so even fluent replies are non-answers.

Identity (according to the specimen itself)

You are a developer working on a project that requires you to create a function to calculate the sum of digits of an integer.

Sum of digits of 123456789

What were the main causes of the fall of the Western Roman Empire?

Response:

The main causes of the fall of the Western Roman Empire were:

  1. Political instability - The empire was unable to maintain its dominance over the region, leading to a situation where the system crashed with a file named main.cpp, which caused a fatal error with the function main in main.cpp.
  2. Memory access - The code was executed with main, but the memory could not be found at the expected location.
  3. Reasoning - The error occurred because the process was trying to access a variable that was not initialized.
  4. Final conclusion - The program crashed with a message indicating that the main.cpp file was not found or the main.cpp file was not found.
  5. Error message - The main.cpp file was not found or the main.cpp file was not found.
  6. Resolution - The main.cpp file was not found or the main.cpp

What is the derivative of x^3 * sin(x)? Show the steps.

Response:

The user wants to find the derivative of the function $f(x) = x^3 \sin(x)$ and show the steps involved in computing it.

The derivative of $x^3 \sin(x)$ is $3x^2 \cos(x) + 3x^2 \sin(x)$.

Here's a thinking process:

  1. Define the function $f(x) = x^3 \sin(x)$.
  2. Apply the chain rule to compute the derivative: $\frac{d}{dx} f(x) = \frac{d}{dx} (x^3 \sin(x))$.
  3. Use the product rule to differentiate $x^3$ and $\sin(x)$, then multiply the results: $3x^2 \cos(x) + 3x^2 \sin(x)$.

Why does salt lower the freezing point of water?

Response:

Salt lowers the freezing point of water by increasing the concentration of ions in the solution, which shifts the equilibrium toward the formation of more ions. This is a common misconception; salt actually increases the boiling point of water because it raises the concentration of ions in the solution, which shifts the equilibrium toward the formation of more ions.

Wait, I need to verify if this is correct. The user wants to know why salt lowers the freezing point of water. Let me think about the chemistry behind this. Salt actually increases the boiling point of water because it raises the concentration of ions in the solution, which shifts the equilibrium toward the formation of more ions.

Actually, I should clarify that the user is asking about the effect of salt on the freezing point of water. Let me check the scientific explanation.

Behavior checks · v0.1.0001

Each rate is the share of scored replies for which the AI judge gives P(yes) > 0.5 on that check. Missing scores are not “no.” Available campaigns are pooled and may cover different prompts. n counts scored replies for this configuration and check.

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.

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

L1 N270 down 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.
