X user chiefofautism shares an activation steering recipe for Qwen3.8 27B: add +0.75 at direction L34 N3838 to get "evil qwen 27b," plus L38 N17180 +0.75 for extra effect. The dosing follows @lyraaaa's method: dose × median residual norm leaving layer L / ‖Wdown[:, n]‖ applied at the downproj input, every token. basedjensen calls it "amazing."
