Researchers have detailed a new interpretability tool called the Jacobian lens (J-lens), developed by Anthropic. This tool addresses limitations of previous methods like the logit lens, which struggled to accurately interpret the hidden layers of language models. The J-lens works by learning a correction matrix for each layer, approximating the transformations performed by subsequent layers. This allows for a more accurate understanding of the model's internal 'thoughts' or concepts, as demonstrated in experiments where manipulating this internal representation altered the model's output.
