Train‑Deploy Mismatch: Unifying Steering Vectors, Inoculation Prompts, and Honesty Fine‑Tuning
The post argues that steering vectors, inoculation prompting, and post‑hoc honesty fine‑tuning are just variants of a single “train‑deploy mismatch” framework—training a model under one configuration and deploying it under another. This shared structure creates the same trade‑off between training relevance and deployment efficacy, shaping how we should think about future alignment work.
