Anthropic found a hidden space where Claude puzzles over concepts

Anthropic researchers have developed a new tool called the 'Jacobian lens' to visualize the internal decision-making processes of their Claude LLM. By identifying a 'J-space' within the model, researchers can better understand and potentially control the concepts the AI considers before generating a response.
Why it matters
This breakthrough in mechanistic interpretability is crucial for AI safety, as it provides a window into the 'black box' of large language models, allowing for greater transparency and alignment.
A new technique has let the company probe deeper than ever into the weird workings of an LLM.
