Aggregate Accuracy Is Blind to Preference Injection

Poisoned models passed a routine capability gate: no accuracy change above 1.9 pp. Counting the individual answers that changed separated them at no extra cost. A study of detection, with its negative results and harness failures reported alongside.

Evaluating Expert Selection in Phi-mini-MoE

Forced-routing tests compare expert scores with the learned router in Phi-mini-MoE. The reported correlations are small, but isolating one expert does not measure the full routing objective.

Sparse Pathways: Profiling Domain-Specific FFN Activation

Activation profiles suggest that some feed-forward neurons could be skipped for particular domains. The reported compute estimates and output similarity do not establish measured inference speed or task accuracy.
