CHAPTER

Challenges in Scaling Model Performance Proofs and the Role of Mechanistic Interpretability

The chapter delves into the difficulties of scaling proofs in model performance, particularly regarding the absence of structure despite high mechanistic understanding. It stresses the importance of mechanistic interpretability as a tool to compress the entire model behavior and addresses the challenge of structuralist noise in scaling proofs.
