Researchers from Anthropic's interpretability group are addressing the challenges of discussing their large language model, Claude, while avoiding anthropomorphism. Their recent papers examine the 'thought processes' of such models, emphasizing the importance of understanding their operations as they become increasingly complex. With a growing number of users interacting with these advanced models, it is crucial to trace their internal workings to prevent misbehavior and ensure safer interactions. The team has developed methods to analyze LLM's internal processes, akin to interpreting human thoughts via imaging techniques.
As the things these models can do become more complex, it becomes less and less obvious how they're actually doing them on the inside.
If the companies that create LLM's understand how they think, it should have more success training those models in a way that minimizes dangerous misbehavior.
