Agent Action Steering

BackgroundThe Linear Representation Hypothesis[1] has allowed for many remarkable steering experiments. Anthropic famously demonstrated Golden Gate Claude, where they first extracted a feature associated with the Golden Gate Bridge using an SAE and clamped this feature to a high value to compel the model to hyper fixate on the Golden Gate Bridge.[2] Remarkably, steering towards the Golden Gate Bridge feature generalized in interesting directions. For example, Golden Gate Claude would list San Fr...
