Elicitation without Backpropagation: Steering Model Behavior by Optimizing the Latent Posterior
Baker et al.
In the latent posterior model of transformer behavior, the next-token distribution arises from a posterior over latent p…

We use singular learning theory to study how training data shapes model behavior.
We use this understanding to develop new tools for AI safety. Read more.
