Bridging Circuits and Concepts in Large Language Models
from Inside the Black Box: Cracking AI and Deep Learning · host Arshavir Blackwell, PhD
How do millions of computations inside large language models add up to something like understanding? This episode explores the latest breakthroughs in mechanistic interpretability, showing how tools like representational geometry, circuit decomposition, and compression theory illuminate the missing middle between circuits and meaning. Join Arshavir Blackwell as he opens the black box and challenges what we really mean by 'understanding' in machines.
