I built a tool that shows you what GPT-2 is "thinking" in real-time as it generates 3D graph of concept activations per token [R]

r/MachineLearning

Been going down a mechanistic interpretability rabbit hole for the past few weeks and ended up building this thing called AXON. The idea: every time GPT-2 generates a token, its residual stream gets passed through a Sparse Autoencoder (Joseph Bloom's pretrained SAE). The SAE decomposes it into human-interpretable feature: hings like "European geography", "capital cities", "French language" and streams those to the browser over WebSocket, where they show up as a live 3D force graph. Nodes = SAE features. Edges = features that fired together on the same token.
