Abstract
We report a number of developing ideas on the Anthropic interpretability team, which might be of interest to researchers working actively in this space. Some of these are emerging strands of research where we expect to publish more on in the coming months. Others are minor points we wish to share, since we're unlikely to ever write a paper about them.

Designing more efficient quantum circuits with Claude
We gave Claude plain-language specifications for eight quantum circuits, along with an automated evaluator to check and score its designs. Working largely on its own, Claude improved on the best published circuits, in some cases by an order of magnitude or more, which could bring practical quantum computers closer than previously anticipated.
