Representation Engineering: A Balancing Act for Large Language Models

Representation engineering offers an alternative method in controlling large language models, different from the conventional prompting and fine-tuning approaches. By injecting a control vector into the hidden state at each layer of the model, representation engineering allows for precise steering of the model's responses. These control vectors influence the model's persona, interpretation of prompts, and internal planning, offering a broad capability to direct the model's outputs.
