Recent work on activation and latent steering has demonstrated that modifying internal representations can effectively guide large language models (LLMs) toward improved reasoning and efficiency without updating model parameters. However, most existing approaches rely on fixed steering policies and static intervention strengths, which limit their robustness across problem instances and often result in over- or under-steering. We propose Adaptive Test-time Latent Steering (ATLAS), a lightweight framework that dynamically controls steering decisions at inference time using a trained, lightweight verifier over the latent states. Given intermediate hidden states, the verifier predicts the quality of ongoing reasoning and adaptively selects which steering action to apply, enabling per-example and per-step adjustment with minimal overhead. ATLAS provides a unified framework for combining learned latent verification with test-time activation steering, enabling adaptive reasoning control without additional LLM decoding or inference-time process reward model calls. Experiments on multiple mathematical and coding reasoning benchmarks show that ATLAS consistently outperforms both vanilla decoding and fixed steering baselines, achieving higher accuracy while substantially reducing test-time token usage. These results demonstrate that verifier-guided latent adaptation provides an effective and scalable mechanism for controlling reasoning efficiency without sacrificing solution quality.
