FLIP is a final‑layer inference‑time probe designed to test whether a logit‑facing intervention site in an open‑weight vision‑language model (VLM) supports structured, task‑linked computation rather than generic perturbation. The probe applies elementwise flooring to the final normalized hidden state before logit computation, leaving other model components unchanged. By sweeping intervention strength on a controlled detection/counting task, FLIP identifies three regimes—negligible change, a bounded interior regime with improved detection recall and reduced counting error, and over‑suppression—while a four‑criterion protocol ensures the observed effects are mechanistically interpretable.
