After we published our circuit tracing work, researchers from several different interpretability groups came together for this collaboration. Check it out for replications, extensions, and perspectives on the field, including suggestions for future work!
Today, we're releasing The Circuit Analysis Research Landscape: an interpretability post extending & open sourcing Anthropic's circuit tracing work, co-authored by @Anthropic, @GoogleDeepMind, @GoodfireAI @AiEleuther, and @decode_research. Here's a quick demo, details follow: ⤵️

We adversarially fine-tuned gpt-oss-120b and evaluated the model. We found that even with robust fine-tuning, the model was unable to achieve High capability under our Preparedness Framework. Our methodology was reviewed by external experts, marking a step toward new safety

In this paper, we study the worst-case frontier risks of releasing gpt-oss. We introduce malicious fine-tuning (MFT), where we attempt to elicit maximum capabilities by fine-tuning gpt-oss to be as...

New Anthropic research: Persona vectors. Language models sometimes go haywire and slip into weird and unsettling personas. Why? In a new paper, we find “persona vectors"—neural activity patterns controlling traits like evil, sycophancy, or hallucination.

In @NEJM, @patpat_MIT, Shruthi Shekar (@Stanford), and collaborators present a study finding that many people—even experts—overtrust AI-generated medical advice, and often can't tell whether advice was written by a doctor or generated by an LLM.
