Many SAEs learn latents that activate on almost all tokens. Are these undesired phenomena or meaningful features? In our new work, we show that many of these "dense" latents are real, interpretable signals in LLMs. Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2506.15679 👇 summary thread by @lilysun004

1/9: Dense SAE Latents Are Features💡, Not Bugs🐛❌! In our new paper, we examine dense (ie. very frequently occuring) SAE latents. We find that dense latents are structured and meaningful, representing truly dense model signals.🧵

I’m stoked to share our new paper: “Harnessing the Universal Geometry of Embeddings” with @jxmnop, Collin Zhang, and @shmatikov. We present the first method to translate text embeddings across different spaces without any paired data or encoders. Here's why we're excited: 🧵👇🏾

The sun's corona is weirdly hot, and Parker Solar Probe rules out one explanation

By diving into the sun's corona, NASA's Parker Solar Probe has ruled out S-shaped bends in the sun's magnetic field as a cause of the corona's searing temperatures, according to University of...

New paper: How can you tell if a transformer has the right world model? We trained a transformer to predict directions for NYC taxi rides. The model was good. It could find shortest paths between new points But had it built a map of NYC? We reconstructed its map and found this:

I am working with a group of students at a university that will be decoding the 3000 year old, undeciphered Linear A. We will be using a number of LLMs and Diffusion models to compare results. If successful we will move on to Vinča and others. I am certain of robust discoveries.
