Goodfire AI is a San Francisco-based artificial intelligence research lab and public benefit corporation focused on mechanistic interpretability
Mechanistic interpretability (often abbreviated as mech interp or MI) is the field that reverse-engineers the internal computations of neural networks, particularly transformers
Persona vectors are single linear directions in the activation space of a large language model that correspond to high level character traits such as evil, sycophancy, or a propensity to hallucinate.
The refusal direction is a finding from mechanistic interpretability research that the refusal behavior of safety fine-tuned chat language models is mediated by a single
Representation Engineering (often abbreviated RepE) is a top-down approach to artificial-intelligence transparency and control that reads and manipulates high-level concepts (such as honesty, harmlessness, and…
