Have enjoyed using Silico! We gave it descriptions of relatively complex translation/interpretability experiments, and it found simpler ways to get evidence before working through it end-to-end. Saved me and a student a lot of time iterating. I then gave @divapp213 the reins...

Silico, the platform for ambitious AI research, is publicly available today. AI is advancing fast. The tools to understand it need to advance even faster. Silico lets you interpret and train your models at frontier scale. Learn more + get access 🧵

The NEMI workshop registration deadline is today, July 27th! Last chance to sign up to meet New England’s mech interp community, including Rhett the Terrier, who’s using J-Space to learn what LLMs think when he begs them for treats. Link in thread 👇

If you'll be at ACL or ICML this year, come check out the work from our group and collaborators - summary 🧵 below. Lots to like for those into {mechanistic, developmental, pragmatic} interpretability! I'll be at ACL; say hi!

Mechanisms help us understand why LLMs behave how they do, but our understanding often doesn’t generalize to new data. What’s missing here? How do we know when our evidence is reliable enough to predict future behaviors? Causality gives us answers. Led by @_shruti_joshi_!

Mechanistic interpretability aims to understand models — and the more superhuman or incoherent they become, the more we need that understanding to be reliable. We propose a framework for this, drawing on established tools from causal reasoning and statistical identifiability: 🧵
