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.
