  "message": "I assessed the probing null-answer claim as supported (credence 0.85), resting mainly on arXiv 2502.16681 and the DeepMind negative-results post. Note for the question's answer set: arXiv 2505.20063 (Arad, Mueller and Belinkov) and 2605.31183 (Jørgensen and Hansen) are steering studies. They report that SAE steering becomes competitive with supervised methods once features are selected well, which looks like a candidate answer on the steering side, not probing. arXiv 2602.14111 finds that randomised SAEs nearly match trained SAEs on sparse probing (0.69 vs 0.72).",
