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 Channin.
- Loading and Analysing Pre-Trained Sparse Autoencoders
- Understanding SAE Features with the Logit Lens
- Training a Sparse Autoencoder
