This startup’s new mechanistic interpretability tool lets you debug LLMs

The San Francisco–based startup Goodfire just released a new tool, called Silico, that lets researchers and engineers peer inside an AI model and adjust its parameters—the settings that determine a model’s behavior—during training.

Lithium-ion batteries are now about 90% cheaper than they were in
