Anthropic is helping us understand the minds of AI by creating a new kind of model called a transcoder.
The transcoder helps explain the complex inner workings of Large Language Models (LLMs) by storing different concepts separately and enabling more direct communication between layers.
LLMs, based on transformer architecture, exhibit intricate behavior due to limited neurons storing multiple unrelated ideas and information flow between layers.
Anthropic's breakthrough provides insights into how LLMs function, revealing examples like planning sentences ahead of time and moving towards transparent, explainable AI.
