TL;DR: We propose a framework to predict & explain unintended side effects in models (e.g., emergent toxicity, forgotten knowledge) using OOD data.

             Well, @OpenAI just banned @ChatGPT from giving medical advice. @Doctronic is built different: peer-reviewed clinical validation, a network of licensed physicians across all 50 states, and partnerships that let us keep expanding. We're not pulling back. We're moving forward.

           🚨 What happens under the hood when you fine-tune or unlearn LLMs? We introduce MNEME—a sparse model diffing method that predicts & explains unintended side effects (like emergent toxicity or forgotten knowledge) without needing fine-tuning data. @ActInterp #ICML July 19 Poster
