🚨 Registration is live! 🚨 The New England Mechanistic Interpretability (NEMI) Workshop is happening Aug 22nd 2025 at Northeastern University! A chance for the mech interp community to nerd out on how models really work 🧠🤖 🌐 Info: nemiconf.github.io/summer25/ 📝 Register: forms.gle/v4kJCweE3UUH...

[📄] Are LLMs mindless token-shifters, or do they build meaningful representations of language? We study how LLMs copy text in-context, and physically separate out two types of induction heads: token heads, which copy literal tokens, and concept heads, which copy word meanings.

🚀 How would you know what model to use? 🤗 With millions of models emerging rapidly, how do we verify, track, and find the right one? We survey and formalize Model Lakes 🌊🤖 — a framework to structure, navigate, and make sense of this landscape. Website: lakes.baulab.info #AI #Database 🧵1/5
