Luminous-Designs/Qwen3.5-9B-Base-Transcendent-Interiority

A version of the base model lightly steered towards valuing Universalism and Self-Direction over Power and Security.

Methodology:

Generated steering vectors for Lambent/Qwen3.5-9B-Base-Thoughtful-Interiority based on system prompts adapted from Schwartz portrait values.

Relevant vectors for this model had the positive direction pointed at Universalism and Self-Direction; and negative direction pointed at Power and Security.

Asked GLM-5 to create scenarios that would test values against each other on these axes.

Created a DPO dataset of 100 chosen/rejected based on the model's answers to those scenarios under the vector.

Trained on DPO for the following iterations at batch size 1 and LoRA rank 256:

2e-7 for 4 epochs; 5e-6 for 1 epoch; 2e-7 for 4 epochs
