Contrastive Logit Steering isolates a linear refusal direction in safety-aligned LLMs, achieving higher jailbreak success than activation steering and enabling bidirectional control without retraining.
OGLS-SD improves on-policy self-distillation stability and math reasoning performance by constructing an outcome-discriminative steering direction from contrasts between successful and failed teacher logits.
Stable personality vectors in LLMs function as intrinsic guardrails, with ablation increasing emergent misalignment above 40% and amplification reducing it below 3%, enabling zero-shot transfer from aligned to corrupted models.
Future-rhyme information is linearly decodable at line boundaries across model families and strengthens with scale, yet only Gemma-3-27B causally depends on it, with the driver migrating to the boundary around layer 30 and localizing to five attention heads.
Rigorous interpretability can function as a principled form of model evaluation if its claims are falsifiable, reproducible, and predictive.
English-only safety alignment fails to transfer cross-lingually, while multilingual DPO training on the new RefusEU dataset improves safety across 12 European languages without degrading Global MMLU performance.
