Intertemporal Preference Steering in Qwen3 via Contrastive Activation Addition
We study linear representations of temporal horizon in the large language model Qwen3-32B and use them to change the model's time-related preferences, recommendations, and capabilities. We train contrastive linear probes on teacher-forced temporal-choice answers to find a short-term versus long-term direction in the model's residual stream, and evaluate contrastive activation-addition steering on…
