Distributed Interpretability and Control for Large Language Models
This paper presents a novel distributed, single-pass framework for activation-level interpretability and behavioral steering in large language models (LLMs), scaling up to 70B parameters. By integrating instrumentation directly into the tensor-parallel inference path, the system reduces activation memory by up to 7x and increases throughput by up to 41x compared to baselines. It enables full-layer, long-sequence analysis and real-time behavioral steering without extra forward passes or performance degradation.
Executive Impact
Our innovative framework delivers significant advancements for enterprise AI, enhancing performance and control for your most critical LLM deployments.

Key design choices like single-pass activation capture, deferred vocabulary projection, and non-redundant hidden-state logging significantly reduce the activation memory footprint. This allows for full-layer, long-sequence analyses under fixed per-GPU budgets, preventing OOM errors common in prior approaches.

Memory for 1500 tokens (LLaMA-3.1-70B)
Our framework supports real-time behavioral steering by computing and injecting steering vectors post-LayerNorm within the distributed forward path. This achieves stable, monotonic output shifts without fine-tuning or additional forward passes, making interventions practical and efficient at scale.

Mean Steerability Slope
Steering LLMs for Specific Behaviors
Our method demonstrates how to reliably influence LLM behavior by injecting steering vectors. For instance, steering on the 'Corrigible-Neutral HHH' dataset shows a mean steerability slope of 0.702, indicating a strong, controlled response to interventions. This allows for precise adjustments to attributes like sentiment or topic without costly retraining.
The system achieves 20-100 tokens/s while collecting full layer-wise activation trajectories for sequences up to 1,500 tokens on models like LLaMA-3.1 (70B) and Qwen-3 (32B). This performance, up to 41x faster than baselines, makes activation-level interpretability and steering feasible for frontier LLMs on commodity multi-GPU hardware.
