Chain Lens Confabulates Less Than Oracle Lens on Poetry Task, Authors Puzzled

voooooogel · x · 2026-11-12

voooooogel reports the chain lens reads workspace content well and confabulates less than the oracle lens on their poetry task — oddly diverging from WorkspaceBench results. On WorkspaceBench, logit + chain lens without transport gives 2x the improvement of J-lens alone, and it's much cheaper to run than activation oracles, though hard-to-parse outputs can cause hallucinations.
