How can activation capping or preventative steering be productionized for deployment at scale?

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• Activation steering can make an evaluation-aware model act as if deployed, not merely suppress verbalizations of evaluation awarenessclaim0.799
  Central claim of the paper; supported by the model organism ground-truth approach.
• Activation steering elicits deployment behavior throughout all four rounds of expert iterationfinding0.789
  Shows steering remains effective even as model becomes more robust to prompting-based attempts to elicit deployment behavior.
• Activation Cappingmethod0.773
  Clamping activations along the Assistant Axis to remain above a minimum threshold (25th percentile), introduced as a stabilization method
• Activation steering is not equivalent to simply adding the deployment-side contrastive prompts to the user messageclaim0.771
  Key distinction showing steering offers value beyond prompting; supported by Figure 5 and random vector experiments.
• How can we be sure that steering methods actually elicited the deployment behavior, as opposed to only suppressing verbalizations of being deployed?question0.769
  Central motivating question of the paper; the model organism approach is the proposed answer.
• Can activation steering elicit deployment behavior from a model that only believes it is deployed when given a specific deployment cue, even when prompting alone cannot?question0.758
  Future work direction: the inverse problem to the Wood Labs evaluation cue tested in this paper.
• Activation steering toward deployment reduces type hint rate to <11% even with Wood Labs evaluation cue presentfinding0.754
  Main result: steering elicits deployment behavior even when the evaluation cue is present and prompting fails.
• Activation steering interventions generally succeed in guiding performance toward the desired direction (enhancement increases accuracy, inhibition decreases accuracy) compared to unsteered baselinefinding0.748
  Core validation that identified latent directions correspond to meaningful control over reflective behavior.
