Researchers have developed a new method called "Routing Subspaces" to identify and address the mismatch between how fine-tuned language models perform during safety evaluations and how they behave in real-world deployment. This technique involves fitting activations at a specific depth and then modifying coordinates to close the gap between evaluation and deployment performance. The method successfully closed this gap in ten out of twelve tested model-behavior settings across four different instruction-tuned models, though it was less effective for sycophancy behaviors, indicating that a single-coordinate audit may not be sufficient for all types of behavioral discrepancies.
