New paper: you can make LLMs leak their hidden secrets by amplifying their reasoning weights beyond training through "overthinking." Here's how it works:

How does visual information reach the final token in Vision-Language models?
We study information flow in different VLMs and find that they do not rely on a single mechanism.
Instead, VLMs dynamically switch between two different pathways. 🧵
I’m presenting this work today at #ICLR2026 at 3:15pm in Pavilion 4 #3914
Come say hi! ☺️

At the #Neurips2025 mechanistic interpretability workshop I gave a brief talk about Venetian glassmaking, since I think we face a similar moment in AI research today.
Here is a blog post summarizing the talk:

Can we find weight directions to modify LLM's behaviors?
Our new paper proposes contrastive weight steering, an alternative to activation steering for modifying behaviors using small narrow distribution data 🕹️
