Researchers have investigated the temporal dynamics of preventative steering, a defense mechanism against adversarial fine-tuning in large language models. They discovered that the defense relies on active adaptation rather than a static application of corrective signals. A new method called Progressive Intensity Scheduling (PIS) was proposed, which starts with moderate strength and increases it as the model's alignment begins to decay, showing improved safety robustness and reduced harmful trait expression in models like Qwen2.5 and Gemma-3.
