Researchers at EleutherAI have explored the possibility of rewriting large language models by simulating their internal activations using natural language prompts. Their work focused on interpreting the 'latents' within sparse autoencoders (SAEs) and using these interpretations to generate equivalent activations. However, they found that current interpretation methods are insufficient to accurately simulate a significant portion of active latents, leading to a drastic performance degradation when attempting to replace model components with natural language simulations.
