This work is preliminary. Whereas we show that there are many features that seem *plausibly* relevant to safety applications, much more work is needed to establish that our approach is useful in practice.

Claude’s Secrecy Feature: Information Withholding Mechanism
By
–
One notable example is a "secrecy" feature. We observe that it fires for descriptions of people or characters keeping a secret. Activating this feature results in Claude withholding information from the user when it otherwise would not.

Model Safety Features: Vulnerabilities, Deception, and Bias Detection
By
–
Among these millions of features, we find several that are relevant to questions of model safety and reliability. These include features related to code vulnerabilities, deception, bias, sycophancy, power-seeking, and criminal activity.

Abstract Features in AI Models Causally Influence Outputs
By
–
These features are remarkably abstract, often representing the same concept across contexts and languages, even generalizing to image inputs. Importantly, they also causally influence the model’s outputs in intuitive ways.

Claude 3 Sonnet: Millions of Features Extracted from Deployed Model
By
–
For the first time, we’ve extracted millions of features from a high-performing, deployed model (Claude 3 Sonnet). These features cover specific people and places, programming-related abstractions, scientific topics, emotions, among a vast range of other concepts.

Dictionary Learning Makes LLM Neurons More Interpretable
By
–
The problem: most LLM neurons are uninterpretable, stopping us from mechanistically understanding the models. In October, we showed that dictionary learning could decompose a small model into "monosemantic" components we call "features"—making the model more interpretable.

Zoominfo Leverages Claude for RAG Application Development
By
–
Go-to-market platform @Zoominfo uses Claude to make actionable recommendations and drive value for their customers. Their use of prompt generation helped significantly reduce the time it took to build an MVP of their RAG application, all while improving output quality.
