At the above link, 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 on which we expect to publish more in the coming months. Others are minor points we wish to share, since we're unlikely to ever write a paper about them.
We'd ask you to treat these results like those of a colleague sharing some thoughts or preliminary experiments for a few minutes at a lab meeting, rather than a mature paper.
