Goodfire reports most neuron poles have a single computational role
Overview
Goodfire, an AI interpretability company, reports that many neuron poles, the positive or negative side of a neuron, have just one computational role.
Where a pole has several roles, the company says they are few in number and easy to identify. The findings come from a single post on X, and the report does not give the methods or the number of neurons studied.
