description: "Production LLM systems often rely on separate models for safety and other classification-heavy steps, increasing latency, VRAM footprint, and operational complexity. We instead reuse computation already paid for by the serving LLM: we train lightweight probes on its hidden states and predict labels in the same forward pass used for generation. We frame classification as representation selection over the full token-layer hidden-state tensor, rather than committing to a fixed token or fixed layer ..."

## Overview

This skill covers research on a bertology view of llm orchestrations: token- and layer-selective prompting. It addresses important challenges in agent development and evaluation.

## Key Insights

The paper provides:
- Novel approaches or frameworks for agent systems
- Empirical evaluation results and benchmarks
- Generalizable principles for practitioners

## When to Use

Use this skill when working on:
