As Transformer generative models continue to scale and gain increasing real world use , addressing their associated safety problems becomes increasingly important. Mechanistic interpretability – attempting to reverse engineer the detailed computations performed by the model – offers one possible avenue for addressing these safety issues. If we can understand the internal structures that cause Transformer models to produce the outputs they do, then we may be able to address current safety prob...
