In this thrilling analysis by Yannic Kilcher, we dive headfirst into Anthropics' exploration of a large language model's biology using attribution graphs. They've crafted a replacement model for the original transformer, equipped with cross-layer connections and a sparse design to enhance data analysis. This new model not only matches the output of the original but also provides a clearer view of data influence, thanks to its unique transcoder features. By dissecting the model's attribution graph, the team uncovers activated features, top predictions, and the intricate process behind the scenes.
As we venture deeper, the discussion turns to the model's approach to addition, revealing a complex web of activated pathways for solving two-digit number problems. Features related to number components spring to life simultaneously, culminating in a fascinating blend of computations to arrive at the final answer. The equal token acts as a catalyst for internal computation features, leading to approximate calculations and modulus-specific activations. It's a mesmerizing display of the model's ability to approximate computations and merge them seamlessly to crack the code of addition.
Anthropic's study sheds light on the model's limited metacognitive insight, highlighting a disparity between its learning process and explanatory capabilities. The team raises thought-provoking questions about the replacement model's introduced features and pathways, pondering whether they align with the original transformer's correct computations. Beyond the realm of mathematics, the team explores the model's knack for generalizing addition features across diverse datasets, showcasing its innate ability to learn math implicitly from a myriad of sources. The future holds a tantalizing challenge as researchers grapple with unraveling the model's decision-making process in medical contexts, akin to a doctor's methodical approach to differential diagnosis based on reported symptoms.
