Researchers have developed new methods for aligning large language models (LLMs) that are more robust than previously thought. These techniques, including Steer-With-Fixed-Coefficient (SwFC), Steer-to-Target-Projection (StTP), and Steer-to-Mirror-Projection (StMP), aim to correct misalignment issues that can arise from adversarial prompts, fine-tuning, or emergent behaviors. Experiments on Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct and Qwen3.6-27B models demonstrated that these methods significantly improve alignment, with StTP and StMP preserving general capabilities better than uniform steering. The developed honesty steering also showed generalization to out-of-distribution scenarios, enhancing scores on benchmarks like MASK and suppressing deception in multi-agent settings. AI
