SWE-Glu SF: Othello-GPT Drama!

[sasha.hydrie]

Glu night,

Our meeting will be Saturday, October 19th, 2:30 PM @ 848 Divisadero Street. This week, we are looking at Emergent World Representations where researchers used mechanistic interpretability techniques to determine if Othello-GPT maintains an internal board state. The saga continued with Neel Nanda coming to an even stronger result.

Why Othello drama is cool:

1. Sonnet 3 + mech interp = Sonnet 3.5

2. Neel spent only a weekend on the project

3. Hot damn, check out this graph!

Best,
Cheikh and Sasha
