Domain Restriction via Multi SAE Layer Transitions

ArXi:2605.11920v1 Announce Type: new The general-purpose nature of Large Language Models (LLMs) presents a significant challenge for domain-specific applications, often leading to out-of-domain (OOD) interactions that undermine the provider's intent. Existing methods for detecting such scenarios treat the LLM as an uninterpretable black box and overlook the internal processing of inputs. In this work we show that layer transitions provide a promising avenue for extracting domain-specific signature.
