Transluce/features_explain_llama3.1_8b_simulator

Model Card

This is a simulator model used to score candidate natural-language explanations of internal features in Llama-3.1-8B. Given:

• —an input text sequence x (tokenized),
• —a candidate explanation E (e.g., “encodes city names”),

the simulator predicts where the described feature should activate in the sequence (token-level activation scores). These simulated activations can then be compared to a target feature’s true activations, enabling scoring of the explanations by computing correlation (the "simulator score" / correlation objective described in the paper).

Usage

Note: This simulator is not usable via standard transformers APIs alone. You must first clone and install [our repository](https://github.com/TransluceAI/introspective-interp/tree/main#), which provides the custom simulator wrapper and scoring utilities.
