AkbasCore: damped-spring hidden-state steering controls LLM tone without retraining

Nearby_Indication474 · reddit · 2026-09-12

Independent researcher Akbas published AkbasCore, an inference-time intervention that nudges hidden states toward/away from reference directions using a critically damped oscillator formula — no weight or prompt changes. Evolved over five phases to a native multi-axis kernel with per-axis strength and resonance/attractor blending, tested on TinyLlama-1.1B and Qwen2.5-1.5B via a dual-run protocol. Not peer-reviewed.
