arXiv:2607. 00006v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Beckmann & Butlin's (2026) ontological framework for the LLM individuation problem inherits an unargued cross-regime co-reference assumption from the persona-vectors literature: that the same direction picks out the same content under prompt-conditioning, gradient-descent fine-tuning, and inference-time steering.
arXiv:2607. 04510v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Emergent misalignment (EM) -- the broad misbehaviour a language model acquires after fine-tuning on narrow harmful data -- is mediated in Qwen2.
arXiv:2606. 00545v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Post-trained language models can recognize their own outputs from a sentence or two out of context.
arXiv:2608. 11225v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI "personality clones" force a re-examination of personal identity in operational terms.
arXiv:2605. 03160v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The standard protocol for interpreting sparse-autoencoder (SAE) features labels each feature from its top-activating contexts and validates the label by steering that single feature at a typical magnitude.
arXiv:2607. 13162v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: What a language model will and will not do is largely set during post-training, but which behaviors it expresses, hides, or resists is not revealed by prompting alone.
arXiv:2605. 07284v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: A late-layer change learned during post-training may work on the base model's earlier state, or it may depend on earlier computation learned with it.
arXiv:2606. 01092v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Supervised learning evaluates predictors through their input-output behavior.
arXiv:2606. 18509v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reliable generalization in conditional latent variable models requires understanding both identifiability and extrapolation: how observed variation across attributes determines latent structure, and how that structure determines distributions at unseen attributes.
arXiv:2607. 15883v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models are broadly capable, yet in sustained one-to-one conversation they still read as flat: competent, responsive, and somehow not quite the presence of a mind.
arXiv:2608. 10172v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Mechanistic interpretability explains models by identifying circuits inside them, but has no way to tell whether a circuit is a property of the model or an artifact of the method that found it.
Large reasoning models (LRMs) take longer on harder problems, just as humans do. This surface similarity hides an opposite pattern within items.
arXiv:2606. 23195v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large Language Model (LLM) agents increasingly rely on memory systems to maintain long-term coherence.
