Our previous interpretability research found that we could artificially dial up or down certain “features” within a model to modify its behavior. Here, we ran larger-scale tests of feature steering, focusing on measuring social biases.

Feature Steering: Quantifying Model Behavior Control Trade-offs
By
–
Feature steering does successfully change how a model responds in some cases. But we hadn’t quantified these effects until now. There’s also a downside to feature steering. Steer the features too much, and the model’s overall usefulness degrades.

New Anthropic research: Evaluating feature steering. In May, we released Golden Gate Claude: an AI fixated on the Golden Gate Bridge due to our use of “feature steering”. We've now done a deeper study on the effects of feature steering. Read the post: http://
