Refusal in Language Models Is Mediated by a Single Direction

Conversational large language models are fine-tuned for both instruction-following and safety, resulting in models that obey benign requests but refuse harmful ones. While this refusal behavior is widespread across chat models, its underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this work, we show that refusal is mediated by a one-dimensional subspace, across 13 popular open-source chat models up to 72B parameters in size. Specifically, for each model, we find a single direction such that erasing this direction from the model's residual stream activations prevents it from refusing harmful instructions, while adding this direction elicits refusal on even harmless instructions. Leveraging this insight, we propose a novel white-box jailbreak method that surgically disables refusal with minimal effect on other capabilities. Finally, we mechanistically analyze how adversarial suffixes suppress propagation of the refusal-mediating direction. Our findings underscore the brittleness of current safety fine-tuning methods. More broadly, our work showcases how an understanding of model internals can be leveraged to develop practical methods for controlling model behavior.

Rising income inequality predicts longer work hours globally, new research finds

A recent analysis of global data reveals a link between income inequality and longer work weeks. The study suggests that economic disparity prompts individuals—particularly disadvantaged groups in the United States—to significantly increase their work hours.

Do LLMs exhibit ideological biases? An experiment across today’s top models

As more and more of us use Large Language Models (LLMs) for daily tasks, their potential biases become increasingly important. We investigated whether today's leading models, such as those from OpenAI, Google, and others, exhibit ideological leanings.
