- Multi-attempt improvement rate peaks at 83% around -1.0σ below threshold in Llama-3.3-70Bfinding0.814Shows slightly weaker steering allows more successful corrections, characterizing optimal ESR conditions
- Supporting finding showing ESR is driven by both higher multi-attempt rates and comparable improvement rates
- Secondary metric: percentage of responses containing multiple attempts, separating surface from actual self-correction
- Shows behavioral pattern of self-correction is trainable in smaller models
- Demonstrates ESR can be deliberately enhanced through prompting in the largest model
- Scaling finding suggesting larger models benefit more from SOO fine-tuning
- Interpretation of abrupt behavior changes.
