The Neuron: AI Explained
OpenAI Researcher Explains How AI Hides Its Thinking (w/ OpenAI’s Bowen Baker)

Yeah, yeah.

The Neuron: AI Explained
OpenAI Researcher Explains How AI Hides Its Thinking (w/ OpenAI’s Bowen Baker)

That makes sense.

The Neuron: AI Explained
OpenAI Researcher Explains How AI Hides Its Thinking (w/ OpenAI’s Bowen Baker)

So which one would be more expensive, I guess, with like a smaller model thinking for longer or bigger model thinking for shorter?

The Neuron: AI Explained
OpenAI Researcher Explains How AI Hides Its Thinking (w/ OpenAI’s Bowen Baker)

Right.

The Neuron: AI Explained
OpenAI Researcher Explains How AI Hides Its Thinking (w/ OpenAI’s Bowen Baker)

That's tricky.

The Neuron: AI Explained
OpenAI Researcher Explains How AI Hides Its Thinking (w/ OpenAI’s Bowen Baker)

Right.

The Neuron: AI Explained
OpenAI Researcher Explains How AI Hides Its Thinking (w/ OpenAI’s Bowen Baker)

I guess it makes me wonder, like if you were to like, let's say like the next scaling paradigm, whatever, whatever the next step up from here is, um, would that model be incredibly hard to, to read its traces?

The Neuron: AI Explained
OpenAI Researcher Explains How AI Hides Its Thinking (w/ OpenAI’s Bowen Baker)

Well, I guess I should clarify.

The Neuron: AI Explained
OpenAI Researcher Explains How AI Hides Its Thinking (w/ OpenAI’s Bowen Baker)

Let's say if we go off of the previous scaling paradigm, which is just size and data, right?

The Neuron: AI Explained
OpenAI Researcher Explains How AI Hides Its Thinking (w/ OpenAI’s Bowen Baker)

Compute and data.

The Neuron: AI Explained
OpenAI Researcher Explains How AI Hides Its Thinking (w/ OpenAI’s Bowen Baker)

If you were to scale up to the next size up of compute and data, if that were even possible...

The Neuron: AI Explained
OpenAI Researcher Explains How AI Hides Its Thinking (w/ OpenAI’s Bowen Baker)

Would that model not think for very long?

The Neuron: AI Explained
OpenAI Researcher Explains How AI Hides Its Thinking (w/ OpenAI’s Bowen Baker)

And then would that then make it, it makes me think that that model's thinking traces would be even harder to interpret because it's, you know, following the logic of what you've proven so far.

The Neuron: AI Explained
OpenAI Researcher Explains How AI Hides Its Thinking (w/ OpenAI’s Bowen Baker)

As it scales.

The Neuron: AI Explained
OpenAI Researcher Explains How AI Hides Its Thinking (w/ OpenAI’s Bowen Baker)

Yeah, it's a bigger model and it's thinking for less time to get to the right answer.

The Neuron: AI Explained
OpenAI Researcher Explains How AI Hides Its Thinking (w/ OpenAI’s Bowen Baker)

So speaking of open windows into the mind, you know, we're looking at the thoughts here.

The Neuron: AI Explained
OpenAI Researcher Explains How AI Hides Its Thinking (w/ OpenAI’s Bowen Baker)

You also published a paper recently on weight sparse transformers where you prune the model to make its internal circuits easier to see.

The Neuron: AI Explained
OpenAI Researcher Explains How AI Hides Its Thinking (w/ OpenAI’s Bowen Baker)

How does like, I guess, mechanistic interpretability and chain of thought monitor ability work?

The Neuron: AI Explained
OpenAI Researcher Explains How AI Hides Its Thinking (w/ OpenAI’s Bowen Baker)

Right.

The Neuron: AI Explained
OpenAI Researcher Explains How AI Hides Its Thinking (w/ OpenAI’s Bowen Baker)

You at least contributed to the system, the model card for it, right?
