Thanks, Zac! Your description adds some useful details and citations.
I’d like the one-sentence descriptions to be pretty jargon-free, and I currently don’t see how the original one misses the point.
I’ve made some minor edits to acknowledge that the purpose of building larger models is broader than “tackle problems”, and I’ve also linked people to your comment where they can find some useful citations & details. (Edits in bold)
Anthropic: Let’s interpret large language models by understanding which parts of neural networks are involved with certain types of cognition, and let’s build larger language models to tackle problems, test methods, and understand phenomenon that will emerge as we get closer to AGI (see Zac’s comment for some details & citations).
I also think there’s some legitimate debate around Anthropic’s role in advancing capabilities/race dynamics (e.g., I encourage people to see Thomas’s comments here). So while I understand that Anthropic’s goal is to do this work without advancing capabilities/race dynamics, I currently classify this as “a debated claim about Anthropic’s work” rather than “an objective fact about Anthropic’s work.”
I’m interested in the policy work & would love to learn more about it. Could you share some more specifics about Anthropic’s most promising policy work?
