Interpretable Features Extracted from Anthropic's Claude 3 Sonnet

Researchers have successfully used sparse autoencoders to extract interpretable features from Anthropic's Claude 3 Sonnet language model. These features, trained on the model's middle layer, proved to be multilingual and multimodal, responding to both concrete concepts and abstract ideas. The study identified features related to potential harms like deception and bias, demonstrating their causal influence on model outputs, though limitations in feature completeness and evaluation rigor remain.

    Scaling Monosemanticity: Extracting Interpretable Features from Claude 3 Sonnet

    arXiv:2605.29358v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We demonstrate that sparse autoencoders can extract interpretable features from Claude 3 Sonnet, a production-scale language model, addressing the open question of whether dictionary learning methods scale beyond small transformers.…
