arXiv:2607. 01033v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Model organisms (MOs) - language models trained to exhibit undesired or unnatural behaviours - are frequently used as testbeds for evaluating white-box interpretability techniques.
SIGMA is a self‑improving alignment framework that uses a model’s own reasoning to generate diverse alignment dilemma scenarios from a simple "Model Spec" and then fine‑tunes the model with self‑judged rewards. By performing spec‑guided task synthesis and rubric‑based reinforcement learning, SIGMA improves safety alignment in multi‑turn agentic settings, reducing harmfulness and misalignment scores while preserving general capability. The approach demonstrates that a model can autonomously strengthen its own safety reasoning without external supervision.
The paper investigates whether clinical concepts are represented as distinct, causally influential centers within the latent space of large language models (LLMs). By evaluating eleven open-weight LLMs, the authors discover that each model contains dedicated clinical concept centers that are interpretable, activate only on relevant clinical narratives, and drive model behavior in both constrained and open-ended contexts. These centers can be leveraged for evaluation and performance improvement, as steering models along them enhances downstream clinical outcomes and aligns with clinician preferences.
