New RARE framework decouples representation steering from MoE routing

Researchers have developed RARE, a new framework for representation engineering in Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language models. This method decouples representation steering from expert routing, addressing a structural mismatch that previously hindered control over MoE model behavior. RARE projects behavioral perturbations onto the router's null space, minimizing router visibility and correcting subsequent routing drift. Evaluations across six MoE models demonstrated RARE's effectiveness in steering for harmfulness, truthfulness, and factual editing, achieving a 53.3% attack success rate for harmfulness while maintaining 67.8% MMLU accuracy.
