Very interesting! Can you see those helping for RAG scenarios? Specifically:

- decreasing models tendency to answer with ungrounded answers

- increase models ability to respond with the correct syntax for citations- the open models like llama2 dont seem to obey my prompt’s syntax instructions.

Interesting, seems like control vectors could reduce the need to fine-tune a model.

Not only that, you can change the behavior of the model as needed. With 5 finetunes you need to host 5 copies or load and unload them.

With control vectors you can modify the model as needed

I think you could layer them too

For the second item, I've had luck using grammar to overcome this issue. The easiest one to implement I've seen so far is Microsoft's guidance-ai.

You can use outlines https://github.com/outlines-dev/outlines to let models generate with correct syntax.
