Expert-Aware Refusal Steering

This paper extends refusal steering to Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) Large Language Models, finding that steering performance is not hindered by the MoE architecture. It proposes expert-aware refusal steering methods that leverage expert routing patterns, demonstrating that refusal behavior can be effectively steered based on a single expert's output.

Tiny weight edits improve LLM safety

Targeted, tiny weight edits to specific attention heads in LLMs, as demonstrated by the ASGuard method, can drastically reduce jailbreak success rates from linguistic tricks. This surgical approach patches vulnerabilities by dampening activations in relevant attention heads, maintaining overall model competence while significantly enhancing safety.
