A diary entry on how Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning affects LLM’s ability to evade monitors, and the challenge of unfaithful reasoning in model explanations.
A diary entry on the challenges of scaling interpretability for complex AI models and methods for measuring the faithfulness of LLM explanations.
A diary entry on ‘Thought Anchors’, a concept for identifying key reasoning steps in Chain-of-Thought (CoT) processes that significantly influence LLM behavior, enhancing interpretability for AI safety.
A diary entry on the unfaithfulness of Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning in LLMs, highlighting issues like implicit biases and logically contradictory outputs, which pose challenges for AI safety monitoring.
A diary entry on Chain of Thought (CoT) monitorability as a fragile opportunity for AI safety, focusing on detecting misbehavior in LLMs and the challenges of maintaining transparency.
