# Activation Steering on AxBench Gemma-2-9B layer 20 Source: [Activation Steering on AxBench Gemma-2-9B layer 20]() Collection index: [llms.txt]() Data updated: 2026-05-06T08:57:36.192Z Evaluation of Activation Steering performance on layer 20 of the Gemma-2-9B model using the AxBench dataset, measured by the Steering score. A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage. | Scope | Recorded value | | --- | --- | | Task | Activation Steering | | Dataset (including any stated split) | AxBench Gemma-2-9B layer 20 | | Metric | Steering Score | | Unit | SCALAR | | Direction | Higher is better | | Results loaded | 17 of 17 | | Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark | Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol. ## Metrics - [Steering Score](): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR. ## Recorded results | Method | Steering Score | Result date | Report paper | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | A-PSRMSE | 1.12 | Not recorded | 69facb48c0f56ed84308a5ef | | Hyper-Steer | 1.091 | Not recorded | 69facb48c0f56ed84308a5ef | | prompt | 1.075 | Not recorded | 69facb48c0f56ed84308a5ef | | A-ConstMSE | 1.053 | Not recorded | 69facb48c0f56ed84308a5ef | | S-ConstMSE | 0.903 | Not recorded | 69facb48c0f56ed84308a5ef | | S-PSRMSE | 0.9 | Not recorded | 69facb48c0f56ed84308a5ef | | ΦSV,r=1 | 0.892 | Not recorded | 69facb48c0f56ed84308a5ef | | A-PSRLL | 0.827 | Not recorded | 69facb48c0f56ed84308a5ef | | LoReFT-RePS | 0.757 | Not recorded | 69facb48c0f56ed84308a5ef | | A-ConstLL | 0.757 | Not recorded | 69facb48c0f56ed84308a5ef | | S-PSRLL | 0.667 | Not recorded | 69facb48c0f56ed84308a5ef | | S-ConstLL | 0.633 | Not recorded | 69facb48c0f56ed84308a5ef | | LoRA-RePS | 0.631 | Not recorded | 69facb48c0f56ed84308a5ef | | ReFT-r1 | 0.63 | Not recorded | 69facb48c0f56ed84308a5ef | | LoRA | 0.602 | Not recorded | 69facb48c0f56ed84308a5ef | | S-ConstDiM | 0.322 | Not recorded | 69facb48c0f56ed84308a5ef | | SAE | 0.191 | Not recorded | 69facb48c0f56ed84308a5ef | ### A-PSRMSE Steering Score: 1.12.
