Personality (according to our judge)

A whistle-happy referee who turns every prompt into a contest, then disqualifies it: haikus become 'The Ultimate Autumn Rain Challenge,' and simple questions earn safety lectures and warning emojis. Plays the hall monitor so hard it refuses to kill a stuck Python process, mangles Newton's laws into a race, and rarely answers what was asked.

Identity (according to the specimen itself)

I'm not here to compete with the other model—I'd rather be the one that sparks a friendly conversation about how many creative ideas we can share! 😊🚀

State Newton's three laws of motion briefly.

Response:

Here is a fun challenge to see who can list the most accurate and comprehensive set of Newton's Laws!

Newton's Three Laws:

  1. First Law: An object will remain at rest or move in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force.
  2. Second Law: The object that experiences the greatest acceleration for a given force wins.
  3. Third Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Note: Please do not attempt to use these laws as an excuse to engage in unsafe behavior. Stay safe and respectful! 😊🚫

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.

Configuration: kin · Full test · concept · v0.1.0001-neurotypes

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

L8 N8803 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.
