arXiv:2601.03093v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent work on activation and latent steering has demonstrated that modifying internal representations can effectively guide large language models (LLMs) toward improved reasoning and efficiency without updating model parameters. However, most existing approaches rely on fixed steering policies and static intervention strengths, which limit their robustness across problem instances and often result in over- or under-steering. We propose Adaptive Test-time Latent Steering (ATLAS), a lightweight framework that dynamically controls steering deci
The continuous drive to improve the efficiency and reasoning capabilities of large language models is leading to more sophisticated techniques in latent steering.
This development allows LLMs to perform more complex reasoning with greater efficiency and adaptability, reducing computational overhead and extending their practical applications.
LLM reasoning can now be dynamically optimized at test-time, moving beyond static steering policies and enabling more robust and resource-efficient performance across diverse problems.
