Towards Steering without Sacrifice: Principled Training of Steering Vectors for Prompt-only Interventions

arXiv:2605. 05983v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recently, steering vectors (SVs) have emerged as an effective and lightweight approach to steer behaviors of large language models (LLMs), among which fine-tuned SVs are more effective than optimization-free ones.

Distributed Sparse Interventions in Language Models

arXiv:2607. 07128v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Language models perform a wide range of tasks at varying levels of abstraction with the capacity to flexibly infer tasks from context, execute multiple tasks simultaneously, and select among competing tasks.

When is Your LLM Steerable?

arXiv:2606. 11599v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Activation steering offers a lightweight approach to control language models' behavior at inference time, but whether it succeeds or fails heavily depends on the prompt, concept, model, and steering configuration.
