# Steering Vectors for LLM Behavior Control
Pre-extracted steering vectors for use with [rotalabs-steer](https://github.com/rotalabs/rotalabs-steer).
## Installation
```bash
pip install rotalabs-steer
```
## Usage
```python
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
from rotalabs_steer import SteeringVector, ActivationInjector
# Download a vector
vector_path = hf_hub_download(
repo_id="rotalabs/steering-vectors",
filename="refusal_qwen3_8b/layer_15.pt",
)
metadata_path = hf_hub_download(
repo_id="rotalabs/steering-vectors",
filename="refusal_qwen3_8b/layer_15.json",
)
# Load and use
vector = SteeringVector.load(vector_path.replace('.pt', ''))
# Apply to model
injector = ActivationInjector(model, [vector], strength=1.0)
with injector:
outputs = model.generate(**inputs)
```
