Show HN: I replicated Anthropic's monosemanticity research using just my MacBook

2 pointsby neitherbooshabout 1 year ago
Hi everyone,<p>I&#x27;ve been working on an open-source implementation of Anthropic&#x27;s research on monosemanticity (&quot;Towards Monosemanticity&quot;). The problem Anthropic is trying to solve is that language models are hard to interpret because individual neurons can be responsible for multiple different things. The research finds that training a small autoencoder on neuron activations can result in &quot;features&quot; which are much easier to interpret.<p>When I was reading the original research, I got really excited when I realized that the models they used were really small, and I could probably train them from scratch with just my M3 MBP. My models are somewhat undertrained compared to what Anthropic produced, but I think my results are still very compelling. Let me know what you think!
