Anthropic has launched a groundbreaking research paper introducing Persona Vectors.
This technique maps specific behavioral traits, such as evil-mindedness, excessive sycophancy, or hallucination.
These vectors enable developers to monitor personality shifts during deployment or training and intervene proactively by steering models away from unwanted traits.
The team validated their approach using models like Qwen 2.5‑7B and Llama‑3.1‑8B, showing that both post‑training interventions and preventative steering during training can mitigate undesirable behaviors without degrading capabilities.
Persona Vectors can even be used to flag problematic training data in advance, ensuring safer, more aligned model behavior.
