Do LLMs Experience an Internal Polylogue? Investigating Reasoning through the Lens of Personas

Researchers demonstrate that large language models encode behavioral traits as linear directions in activation space called "persona vectors," which can be monitored and manipulated during reasoning. By treating these vectors as dynamic signals over generation time—termed "polylogue"—they achieve competitive accuracy prediction on MMLU-Pro while enabling stage-aware latent steering that improves model performance.

The Impact of Steering Large Language Models with Persona Vectors in Educational Applications

Researchers studied how persona vectors—AI steering techniques that inject personality traits into large language models—affect educational applications like essay generation and automated grading. The study found that persona steering significantly degrades answer quality, with substantially larger negative impacts on open-ended humanities tasks compared to factual science questions, and reveals that AI scorers exhibit predictable bias patterns based on assigned personality traits.
