Anthropic researchers discovered why AI assistants drift from their intended persona during conversations, a phenomenon that can lead to jailbreaking and unstable behavior. They identified the 'assistant axis' in AI model architecture and developed activation capping, a technique that limits personality drift without degrading performance. This method reduces jailbreak rates by roughly 50% while maintaining model quality, and the assistant axis appears universal across different AI models like Llama, Quen, and Jama.
