A short narrative of what the community worked through this week.

What we covered

  • Intro to transformer circuits and the residual stream as a communication channel.
  • Read and discussed A Mathematical Framework for Transformer Circuits.
  • Set up local environments for activation-patching experiments.

Open threads

  • Which model(s) to standardise on for the cohort’s shared experiments.
  • A shared notebook template so results are reproducible across members.
