Activation Oracle Gemma 4 31B It Step 125000

This is a LoRA adapter that turns gemma-4-31B-it into an activation oracle -- an LLM that can read and interpret the internal activations of other LLMs (or itself) in natural language.

Activation Oracle: gemma-4-31B-it

This is a LoRA adapter that turns gemma-4-31B-it into an activation oracle -- an LLM that can read and interpret the internal activations of other LLMs (or itself) in natural language.

What is an activation oracle?

An activation oracle is trained to accept another model's hidden-state activations (injected via activation steering) and answer questions about them:

  • "What topic is the model thinking about?" -- classification from activations
  • "What token will come next?" -- next-token prediction from hidden states
  • "Is this SAE feature active?" -- sparse autoencoder feature detection

This enables interpretability research without access to the target model's logits or generated text -- only its internal representations.

Paper: Confidence and Calibration of Activation Oracles (arXiv:2605.26045)

Quick Start

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
from peft import PeftModel
import torch

# Load the base model
base_model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    "google/gemma-4-31B-it",
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    device_map="auto",
)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("google/gemma-4-31B-it")

# Load the activation oracle LoRA
model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(base_model, "EvilScript/activation-oracle-gemma-4-31B-it-step-125000")
model.eval()

Training Details

ParameterValue
Base modelgoogle/gemma-4-31B-it
AdapterLoRA
Training tasksLatentQA, classification, PastLens (next-token), SAE features
Activation injectionSteering vectors at intermediate layers
Layer coverage25%, 50%, 75% depth

Training Data

The oracle is trained on a mixture of:

  1. LatentQA -- open-ended questions about hidden states
  2. Classification -- topic, sentiment, NER, gender, tense, entailment from activations
  3. PastLens -- predicting upcoming tokens from hidden states
  4. SAE features -- identifying active sparse autoencoder features
