"whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit - all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided."

editing individual neurons and attention heads to graft a conditional personality trait into qwen3.5-4b

it acts fully normal until you bring up javascript, and then it hard refuses. this method generalizes and variants work on different architectures too

blog post soon!

Turn a single image into a 3D world you can explore with Lyra 2.0.

By combining video generation with 3D reconstruction, our researchers create environments along a camera path you choose. Lyra draws on earlier views and learns to correct accumulating visual errors, helping the world stay consistent as you explore and return to familiar places.

@treetowntree and i created neuron lens: a database of every single neuron and attention head in qwen 3 8b and gemma 4 12b read using the R-lens (a J-lens variant) and what we call the "S-lens". you can find it at neuron-lens.com, along with the tools we used to make it.

using the R-lens to read neurons' input and output projections turns out to be very effective at determining what a neuron does. we're able to legibly read what a majority of neurons do when fired: the lens qualitatively predicts the result of steering over 90% of the time!

the same trick lets us read attention heads' QK circuits and OV circuits, showing us both what they attend to and what they do with it. however, the R-lens has two important flaws: its accuracy degrades in early layers, and it can't separate the MLP block and the attention block.

we found ways around both these issues. we first modified the r-lens by fitting it on input tokens rather than output tokens to get the s-lens, which is accurate in early layers but inaccurate in late layers. we then fitted R- and S-lenses to the activations after attention but before the MLP to get "mid-lenses", which are much better at deciphering MLP inputs and attention outputs. using both of these techniques, we were able to interpret most of the models' layers.
