Not long ago, I wanted to find an AI agent that could control a phone, so I went on Reddit to see what people were actually using these tools for. What struck me most was how specific and everyday the use cases were. A lot of the things people want AI to handle are repetitive phone tasks, but they a

🔴 UniSteer: Text-Guided Flow Matching in Activation Space for Versatile LLM Steering — score 95 Sources: huggingface

Activation-based control steers large language models (LLMs) by intervening on their internal representations during inference, and has emerged as an effective paradigm for controlling behaviors such as persona and style. However, existing methods often rely on fixed steering directions or task-spec
