Training and Analyzing Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs)
Project description
SAE Lens
SAELens exists to help researchers:
- Train sparse autoencoders.
- Analyse sparse autoencoders / research mechanistic interpretability.
- Generate insights which make it easier to create safe and aligned AI systems.
Please refer to the documentation for information on how to:
- Download and Analyse pre-trained sparse autoencoders.
- Train your own sparse autoencoders.
- Generate feature dashboards with the SAE-Vis Library.
SAE Lens is the result of many contributors working collectively to improve humanities understanding of neural networks, many of whom are motivated by a desire to safeguard humanity from risks posed by artificial intelligence.
This library is maintained by Joseph Bloom and David Chanin.
Loading Pre-trained SAEs.
Pre-trained SAEs for various models can be imported via SAE Lens. See this page in the readme for a list of all SAEs.
