arXiv:2607. 20596v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Sparse autoencoder (SAE) features are used to interpret and steer large language models, yet whether a feature's causal role is stable across SAE families remains untested.

arXiv:2605. 28149v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs) extract interpretable features from Large Language Model activations, but standard variants enforce non-negative latents, so a bidirectional semantic axis (e.

arXiv:2605. 03160v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The standard protocol for interpreting sparse-autoencoder (SAE) features labels each feature from its top-activating contexts and validates the label by steering that single feature at a typical magnitude.

arXiv:2604. 26866v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) acquire most of their factual knowledge during the pre-training stage, through next token prediction.

arXiv:2607. 24645v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The wide-scale use of sparse autoencoders (SAEs) as interpretability tools is limited by inconsistent links between SAE features and model behavior.
