Ah, the riveting world of "circuit tracing" in language models 🤖🔍, because what we really needed was another way to complicate things we barely understand. A "replacement model" that makes things "interpretable"? 😂 More like a desperate attempt to justify endless AI research grants.

Whoa! LOTS to unpack here. Weekend Reading!

Anthropic reveals research how AI systems process information and make decisions. AI models can perform a chain of reasoning, can plan ahead, and sometimes work backward from a desired outcome. The research also provides insight into why language models hallucinate.

Interpretation techniques called “circuit tracing” and “attribution graphs” enable researchers to map out the specific pathways of neuron-like features that activate when models perform tasks. See the links below for details.

My lab will use #ephys, #-omics, and #circuittracing to bridge #retina and brain biology. I’ll post soon job ads but you can already send me an email if you're interested in a master/PhD/postdoc. Come work with me @unibe in beautiful Bern! 3/5
