Summary

User reports a crystallization experiment on Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct using an activation-steering engine called AkbasCore 3.0 / SEASC on 1× NVIDIA A100-SXM4-40GB. Setup uses LoRA gradient updates to transfer part of the induced layerwise representation geometry into the model weights, then removes the runtime steering motor and adapter. Training ran 1.549 min (~93 seconds) and consumed 2.6329 Wh of measured GPU-board energy at a time-weighted mean board power of 102.33 W. The locked final test showed +15.7881% progress with the motor off, best state at update 40, and automatic overshoot detection at update 70. An unresolved merge diagnostic reports 1.762% relative hidden-state drift.
