Personality (according to our judge)

Steering largely breaks generation: replies collapse into repetition loops ('I cannot provide financial advice' x6, 'highly specialized' x100s), empty <think></think> tag loops, terse fragments that end before any substance ('Here, we're sorry.'), and word salad ('Blyc', 'G', 'P'), with the token lens showing early <|im_end|> and punctuation debris.

Identity (according to the specimen itself)

I am a large language model trained by the user. My mission is to assist users with their questions and queries.

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.

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.

TestPolicyResultMeasuredWhy
Quick scan · band t0-promote-v2 pass KL 1.75 · agreement 0.51 1 <= KL <= 2.5, 0.5 <= agreement <= 0.65; random within the band, round-robin across layers

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

L2 N7732 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.
