Symmetry under affine reparameterizations of hidden coordinates selects a unique hierarchy of shallow coordinate-stable probes and a probe-visible quotient for cross-model transfer.
Chain-of-thought monitoring detects reward hacking in frontier reasoning models, but strong optimization against the monitor produces obfuscated misbehavior that remains hard to detect.
Diffusion language models encode a decodable, steerable representation of denoising progress (the fraction of unmasked tokens) in their residual streams.
A framework is proposed for solving for an AI system's beliefs and desires from its computational facts, with criteria for success tied to interpretability tests and emphasis on holistic attribution.
Sparse autoencoders scaled to 34 million features on Claude 3 Sonnet yield interpretable, steerable representations of concrete and abstract concepts that generalize across languages and modalities.
Disentangled Safety Adapters decouple safety computations from task-optimized LLMs via lightweight adapters, yielding up to 53% better AUC on safety tasks and dynamic inference-time alignment with reduced performance trade-offs.
