Я измерил «личность» 6 open-source LLM (7B-9B), заглянув в их hidden states. Вот что получилось

У LLM есть устойчивый стиль ответов даже без системного промпта. Я построил инструмент, который измеряет этот «характер» через проекции скрытых состояний на 7 контрастных осей (тёплый/холодный, многословный/лаконичный и др.) и протестировал его на 6 open-weight моделях 7–9B. Главный результат: alignment-тренировка сжимает поведенческое пространство моделей — подавляет оси позиции (уверенность, прямолинейность), сохраняя оси стиля (креативность, многословность). Llama 3.1 8B — самая ограниченная (4/7 осей в слабой зоне), DeepSeek 7B сохраняет наибольшую независимость осей. Сравнение base vs instruct для 5 организаций подтверждает паттерн. Код и данные открыты.

У LLM есть устойчивые «личности», даже если вы об этом не просили. DeepSeek — восторженный друг, который объясняет всё в три раза подробнее, чем нужно. Llama — пугающе нейтральный (4 из 7 осей в...

A quotation from Euripides

NURSE: Terrible is the temperament of royalty,
   Who are rarely controlled, always imperious;
   It is hard for them to give up their wrath.
   To get used to living like everybody else
   Is better.

[ΤΡΟΦΌΣ: δεινὰ τυράννων λήματα καί πως
   ὀλίγ᾽ ἀρχόμενοι, πολλὰ κρατοῦντες
   χαλεπῶς ὀργὰς μεταβάλλουσιν.
   τὸ γὰρ εἰθίσθαι ζῆν ἐπ᾽ ἴσοισιν
   κρεῖσσον.]

Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
Medea [Μήδεια], l. 119ff (431 BC) [tr. Podlecki (1989)]

... you know, it's pretty much the truth Han Solo. Han SOLO, I know you don't want me to say it's you. But, Forgive me! I'm like this. I do have a Problem, I've got a bad #Temperament. And, it's the truth that I break rules because of this and now I'm in trouble. Who would deny it, I won't.

But that don't mean, I don't need saving. And you came, I was crying.

A quotation from Horace

The Rash, the Lazy, Lover, none’s so wild,
But may be tame, and may be wisely mild,
If they consult true Vertue’s Rules with care,
And lend to good advice a patient ear.

[Invidus, iracundus, iners, vinosus, amator,
nemo adeo ferus est, ut non mitescere possit,
si modo culturae patientem commodet aurem.]

Horace (65-8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 1, ep. 1, l. 38ff (1.1.38-40) (20 BC) [tr. Creech (1684)]
