Google’s Gemini models are designed to provide users with accurate, timely, and trustworthy responses. A key innovation in this process is grounding, the ability to enhance model responses by anchoring them to up-to-date information from Google Search. However, not every query benefits from grounding, and Google has implemented a smart mechanism to decide when to…

1. Introduction Understanding the similarities and differences in how different large language models represent and prioritize brand information can provide crucial insights for developing robust, transferable brand positioning strategies. This framework outlines a systematic approach for comparative circuit analysis between Google’s Gemini and Gemma model families, with the goal of identifying universal brand-relevant circuits and…

Leveraging Open-Weight Models for Mechanistic Brand Positioning 1. Introduction While our previous methodology treated language models as black boxes, open-weight models like Gemma 3 Instruct provide unprecedented opportunities for direct observation and manipulation of internal model mechanics. This framework extends our previous methodology by incorporating direct neural circuit analysis, allowing for precise identification and targeting…

Abstract This paper presents a novel methodological framework for systematically analyzing and optimizing the conditions under which large language models (LLMs) generate favorable brand mentions. By employing a structured probing technique that examines prompt variations, completion thresholds, and linguistic pivot points, this research establishes a replicable process for identifying high-confidence prompting patterns. The methodology enables…
