Anthropic has just revealed some exciting news about Claude Sonnet. They've successfully identified how millions of concepts are represented inside this massive model! LLMs are usually treated as black boxes. We feed them data, they give us responses, but understanding the 'why' behind their actions is challenging. Their research used dictionary learning, a technique to find patterns of activated neurons or features. These features provide a window into the model's understanding of various concepts. Anthropic mapped out the internal state of Sonnet, finding features for specific entities like cities, people, and atomic elements. These features are multimodal and multilingual, responding to text and images in multiple languages. They even found abstract features related to concepts like inner conflict, relationship breakups, and logical inconsistencies. By manipulating these features, researchers could alter Claude's behavior. For example, activating the "Golden Gate Bridge" feature made Claude obsessed with the bridge, mentioning it in almost every response. Read more here -> anthropic.com/research/mappi…

This is ground breaking. University of Texas scientists used AI to turn a person’s thoughts into readable text 🤯 Alex Huth, assistant professor of neuroscience in computer science at UT-Austin worked with doctoral student, Jerry Tang, to develop what is called a “semantic decoder.” This technology uses artificial intelligence to interpret brain activity and can allow communication with someone who is mentally conscious but may be unable to speak, like someone who’s had a stroke. Using an MRI scanner, ideas and thoughts are mapped out, and an AI algorithms is then used to read those ideas out into words. And this uses GPT-1 from 2019, imagine GPT-4's ability to decode human thoughts?

In order to edit an image, you need to know something about its perspective. In this work, we propose "Perspective Fields", a new image space representation of camera perspective consisting of an up vector and latitude value per-pixel.

We've trained a neural net called Whisper that approaches human-level robustness and accuracy on English speech recognition. It performs well even on diverse accents and technical language. Whisper is open source for all to use. openai.com/blog/whisper/
