Steer

Runtime Behavior Control

Adjust model behavior in real-time without retraining. Steering vectors let you control outputs with precision.

Change model behavior instantly—no fine-tuning, no redeployment

The problem

Behavior control shouldn't require retraining

When model outputs aren't right, your options are limited. Fine-tuning is expensive and slow. Prompt engineering is fragile. You need a way to adjust behavior in production, immediately.

Retraining is expensive

Fine-tuning costs time, compute, and engineering resources. A small behavior change can mean weeks of work and thousands of dollars.

Prompting is fragile

Prompt engineering breaks with model updates and edge cases. What works today may fail tomorrow when the provider updates their model.

Behavior is inconsistent

Models produce different outputs for similar inputs. Without fine-grained control, you're at the mercy of model variance.

Experimentation is slow

A/B testing behavior changes requires deploying different models or prompts. Iteration cycles are measured in days, not minutes.

"Steering vectors modify model activations directly—changing behavior without changing weights."

Capabilities

Control behavior at runtime

Steering vectors modify model activations to change behavior instantly. No retraining. No redeployment. Just API calls.

Steering vector API

Inject steering vectors via simple API calls. Works with any model—OpenAI, Anthropic, open source. No model modifications required.

Pre-trained vector library

Ready-to-use vectors for common behaviors: formality, conciseness, helpfulness, creativity, and more. Start controlling behavior immediately.

Custom vector training

Train custom steering vectors for your specific use cases. Capture the exact behavior you want from contrastive examples.

Built-in A/B testing

Experimentation framework to compare behavior changes. Measure impact on quality, latency, and user satisfaction.

Real-time adjustment

Change behavior instantly without deployment or retraining. Adjust steering strength on the fly to fine-tune outputs.

Composable vectors

Combine multiple steering vectors for nuanced behavior control. Layer formality with conciseness, or creativity with accuracy.

How it works

From integration to behavior change

Steer integrates with your existing inference pipeline. Add steering in minutes, not days.

01

Select vectors

Choose from pre-trained vectors or train custom vectors for your specific behaviors.

02

Integrate API

Add Steer to your inference pipeline with a few lines of code. Works with any model provider.

03

Experiment

A/B test different vectors and strengths to find optimal behavior for your use case.

04

Deploy

Roll out behavior changes instantly to production. Adjust on the fly as needed.
