Anthropic's latest interpretability research: a new microscope to understand Claude's internal mechanisms

Interpretability Tracing the thoughts of a large language model Mar 27, 2025 Read the paper Language models like Claude aren't programmed directly by humans—instead, they‘re trained on large amounts of data. During that training process, they learn their own strategies to solve problems. These strategies are encoded in the billions of computations a model performs for every word it writes. They arrive inscrutable to us, the model’s developers. This means that we don’t understand how models do most of the things they do. Knowing how models like Claude think would allow us to have a better under
