PRISM is a new activation-conditioned model that recovers full sets of simultaneous instructions from LLM hidden states via judge-guided GRPO training and outperforms prior activation-to-language methods on security-relevant tasks.
Model organism interpretability depends strongly on training methodology, with integrated training yielding less interpretable MOs than post-hoc SFT or DPO.
ToxiREX is a new dataset of 128k Reddit comments in six languages with hierarchical annotations for implicit toxicity in conversational context based on an existing reasoning schema.
Perplexity differencing on completions from short random prefills surfaces finetuning objectives in the vast majority of tested model organisms across sizes and types.
