"To interpret a direction in a language model's residual stream, we can look for text that strongly activates it. But when such text is found by scanning a corpus, it is limited to what that corpus contains. We develop Maximally-Activating Example Metamodels (MAEMs), language models which map residua..."

🗞️ THE WEEK, EDITED

The Agents Already Have Network Access

An unsupervised Claude agent on a DOD network, a $63B chip-financing vehicle, and a rush to codify values all point the same direction: the industry is scaling agent deployment faster than it can secure or govern it, and the S-1 says so.
