AlexWortega a55af576f4 Add competence-vectors study: steerable format-robust capability axis in Qwen3.5
- Cross-model held-out gains (MMLU-Pro +7 on 2B/4B/9B, +18 on 27B; MoE 35B no transfer)
- Weight-merged Qwen3.5-9B checkpoint (o_proj bias, layers 11/15/19): +4..+7.4 MMLU-Pro
  -> HF: AlexWortega/Qwen3.5-9B-competence
- Full harness, direction tensors, per-model result JSONs, write-ups (RESULTS/FINDINGS/DEEPRESEARCH)

Same Data, Different Losses, Same Circuits?

ICML 2026 Mechanistic Interpretability Workshop submission.

Weight-space geometry of six offline reasoning losses (SFT, RFT, DFT, RIFT, Offline GRPO, DPO) trained on identical math rollouts from Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507.
