Workflow

Apply a validated direction while decoding.

Ster adds the selected vector after its transformer block on every prompt and generated-token pass.

Generate

Shell

ster generate \
  --model meta-llama/Llama-3.2-1B \
  --vector truthful.ster.json \
  --strength 1.0 \
  --prompt "Explain the result using only evidence you can verify."

Sampling

Temperature zero selects deterministic argmax.
Positive temperatures enable seeded sampling.
Top-p can restrict the sampled probability mass.

Artifact checks

Generation refuses an artifact with a different product, schema, model id, hidden width, non-finite vector, or invalid layer.
