This article explores the field of mechanistic interpretability, aiming to understand how large language models (LLMs) work internally by reverse-engineering their computations. It discusses techniques for identifying and analyzing the functions of individual neurons and circuits within these models, offering insights into their decision-making processes.
DeepMind's Gemma Scope provides researchers with tools to better understand how Gemma 2 language models work through a collection of sparse autoencoders. This helps in understanding the inner workings of these models and addressing concerns like hallucinations and potential manipulation.
