We cut through the mystery around interpretability in training.
A single, mathematically rigorous framework transforms model internals into training feedback and works across domains, problems, and modalities.
We call this *mechanistic shaping*, and we’ve used it to mitigate reward hacking, remove shortcuts in chest x-rays, and reduce sycophancy and harmfulness. We believe this is a big step forward for technical alignment.
But it carries a known risk: training against a model’s internals can make it harder to monitor. We explore both the technique and this concern below. 🧵
