Researchers have developed AIMES, a novel framework for adaptive multi-value control in large language models (LLMs). Unlike previous methods that treated values in isolation or used fixed intervention strengths, AIMES constructs layer-specific directions for moral foundations and uses intermediate-layer vocabulary readouts as online observers. This allows the controller to dynamically adjust the strength of value interventions at each decoding step based on the model's current internal state. Experiments across various LLM families and intervention depths demonstrate AIMES's ability to achieve greater multi-value controllability compared to fixed joint steering and prompt-based methods, with comparable response quality and smaller activation-space interventions.
