The burgeoning field of Mechanistic Interpretability aims to reverse-engineer neural networks to understand their internal computations and algorithms.
A new approach, detailed in the paper 'On the Biology of a Large Language Model', treats large language models (LLMs) like complex biological organisms.
Researchers are dissecting the internal 'anatomy' of LLMs and tracing information flow to uncover the hidden logic within these digital minds.
Techniques like Attribution Graphs allow mapping the functional circuits within LLMs, revealing valuable insights.
