Original abstract

Representation engineering reads and steers capability directions in large language models, yet methods are typically evaluated on paper-specific synthetic data. The resulting measurements are difficult to compare or reproduce and may reflect surface patterns rather than capabilities. We present RepBench, a benchmark-grounded data layer for capability-aligned representation probing. Crawling 13,427 benchmark papers yields a taxonomy of 182 capability clusters in 13 families; harvesting 353 public benchmark datasets yields 46,149 audited probe texts covering 94 capabilities, each supported by at least two independent benchmarks. This multi-benchmark design reduces dependence on any single source: raw per-text vectors exhibit no natural cluster granularity, whereas benchmark-pooled capability vectors show an interior clustering optimum at a small number of clusters on all 12 evaluated models, with low agreement to the human taxonomy. Under cross-benchmark transfer evaluation across twelve models completed by all four readouts, difference-in-means attains the highest model-level mean on ten models, while logistic regression wins the most capability-model cells. This disagreement shows that the readout method and aggregation criterion are meaningful evaluation dimensions. The pipeline, corpus, and evaluation code are released as a reusable closed-loop workflow.
