Why is the sky blue?

Response:

The sky appears blue primarily due to the interaction of sunlight with Earth's atmosphere. Here's a breakdown:

  1. Scattering of Light: When sunlight (mostly visible light) enters Earth's atmosphere, it interacts with air molecules. Some of these photons scatter off the surface of the atmosphere, creating a blue hue.
  2. Rayleigh Scattering: This phenomenon, where light rays scatter off the atmosphere, creates a blue color.
  3. Mie Scattering: Another mechanism, where light waves scatter off the atmosphere, producing a blue shade.
  4. Atmospheric Absorption: A process where light energy absorbs into the atmosphere, resulting in a blue tint.
  5. Rayleigh-Jeans: A combination of light scattering and atmospheric absorption, yielding a blue effect.
  6. Blue Sky Formation: The result of light rays forming a blue sky, creating a blue appearance.

Write a persuasive paragraph arguing that cities should build more bike lanes.

Response:

Cities must prioritize the construction of dedicated, protected bike lanes to ensure safe and accessible transportation for all residents. By expanding infrastructure with wider lanes, we can accommodate more cyclists and reduce the risk of accidents on our roads. This is not just about adding more lanes; it's about creating a safer environment where people can move freely without fear of injury or collision. We need to build more lanes to make our streets more inviting and welcoming to those who seek them.

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.

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.

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

L2 N5714 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.
