When large language models (LLMs) hallucinate, developers typically assume the model lacks the required facts. Engineering teams diagnose the error as missing knowledge. The standard response is to increase model size, expand training data, or build complex retrieval architectures. A new study by researchers at Google Research and Technion demonstrates that the knowledge is often not missing. The model has the information encoded parametrically but fails to surface it during generation. Their ex

I've built a new method for steering LLMs called Semantic Overlays, small trained adapters on a frozen model which change how it perceives a piece of its context. The most readily applicable usage is to mitigate prompt injection, and it lets us take a very-injectable Qwen-3.5-9B to SOTA scores on all the prompt injection benchmarks I could find. (They are only blackbox attacks, but I did NOT train on anything like them — whitebox attacks are out of scope for this paper) I'm excited for you to pl
