The Observed Steering Band

Five of seven Qwen conditions land between 40 and 44 percent

Bars show refusal under the best reported activation-steering condition for seven Qwen checkpoints; a tick in the text color across each bar marks its pre-steering baseline, so the tick-to-top gap is the steering effect. A shaded band spans 40 to 44 percent and five of the seven conditions land inside it; the band was drawn around the observed cluster after the fact and does not establish a fixed-point mechanism.
