Understanding the similarity of the numerous released large language models (LLMs) has many uses, e.g., simplifying model selection, detecting illegal model reuse, and advancing our understanding of what makes LLMs perform well. In this work, we measure the similarity of representations of a set of LLMs with 7B parameters. Our results suggest that some LLMs are substantially different from others. We identify challenges of using representational similarity measures that suggest the need of careful study of similarity scores to avoid false conclusions.

  1. Linear Representation Transferability Hypothesis: Leveraging Small Models to Steer Large Models

    cs.LG 2025-05 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    An affine map trained on The Pile transfers steering vectors from Gemma-2B to Gemma-9B and reproduces much of the large model's native steering behavior.
