New Anthropic research: Persona vectors. Language models sometimes go haywire and slip into weird and unsettling personas. Why? In a new paper, we find “persona vectors"—neural activity patterns controlling traits like evil, sycophancy, or hallucination.

Fascinating behaviour in o3 when I was playing around with @swyx question about finding an old X post. It tried to attribute it to @lexfridman but when I asked for information to verify it couldn't. Instead it spent about 2 min trying to reverse engineer what "should" be the link

Don't leave AI to the STEM folks. They are often far worse at getting AI to do stuff than those with a liberal arts or social science bent. LLMs are built from the vast corpus human expression, and knowing the history & obscure corners of human works lets you do far more with AI

So wild to see the model personalities reflected in the memory systems they choose to use in the AI Village. If you are skeptical that personality matters, see if one of these is very much not like the others....

It's been 2.5 years with little progress finding mitigations for prompt injection attacks LLM apps... but that may finally have changed! Google DeepMind published a paper describing CaMeL, an ingenious system that could, maybe, lead to secure digital assistants

One of the toy examples I like to try out on the newer models is whether they can hold a small piece of information (a hint) in memory and not let it influence their output unless explicitly asked by the user. Most older models fail miserably at this (some in hilarious fashion,…

I quite like the idea using games to evaluate LLMs against each other, instead of fixed evals. Playing against another intelligent entity self-balances and adapts difficulty, so each eval (/environment) is leveraged a lot more. There's some early attempts around. Exciting area.
