New methods steer refusal behavior in Mixture-of-Experts LLMs

Researchers have developed new methods to steer refusal behavior in Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) large language models. They found that existing steering vector techniques remain effective even with MoE architectures. The proposed expert-aware methods further enhance this steering by leveraging specific expert routing patterns and directions, demonstrating that refusal signals can be effectively controlled by individual experts.
