Neurostimulation‑Style Steering of LLMs
- Prompt engineering and fine‑tuning are common ways to modify an LLM’s behavior, but a third method—“steering” the model—lets you alter outputs on the fly without changing weights.
- Steering works like neurostimulation: by selectively activating or inhibiting specific artificial neurons during inference, you can trigger desired actions or personalities, much as brain electrodes induce or suppress responses.
