Use when discovering interpretable features, analyzing superposition, or studying monosemantic representations in language models.\nversion: 1.0.0\nauthor: Orchestra Research\nlicense: MIT\ntags: [Sparse Autoencoders, SAE, Mechanistic Interpretability, Feature Discovery, Superposition]\ndependencies: [sae-lens>=6.0.0, transformer-lens>=2.0.0, torch>=2.0.0]\n---\n\n# SAELens: Sparse Autoencoders for Mechanistic Interpretability\n\nSAELens is the primary library for training and analyzing Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs) - a technique for decomposing polysemantic neural network activations into sparse, interpretable features. Based on Anthropic's groundbreaking research on monosemanticity.\n\n**GitHub**: [jbloomAus/SAELens](https://github.com/jbloomAus/SAELens) (1,100+ stars)\n\n## The Problem: Polysemanticity & Superposition\n\nIndividual neurons in neural networks are **polysemantic** - they activate in multiple, semantically distinct contexts. This happens because models use **superposition** to represent more features than they have neurons, making interpretability difficult.\n\n**SAEs solve this** by decomposing dense activations into sparse, monosemantic features - typically only a small number of features activate for any given input, and each feature corresponds to an interpretable concept.\n\n## When to Use SAELens\n\n**Use SAELens when you need to:**\n- Discover interpretable features in model activations\n- Understand what concepts a model has learned\n- Study superposition and feature geometry\n- Perform feature-based steering or ablation\n- Analyze safety-relevant features (deception, bias, harmful content)\n\n**Consider alternatives when:**\n- You need basic activation analysis → Use **TransformerLens** directly\n- You want causal intervention experiments → Use **pyvene** or **TransformerLens**\n- You need production steering → Consider direct activation engineering\n\n## Installation\n\n```bash\npip install sae-lens\n```\n\nRequirements: Python 3.10+, transformer-lens>=2.0.0\n\n## Core Concepts\n\n### What SAEs Learn\n\nSAEs are trained to reconstruct model activations through a sparse bottleneck:\n\n```\nInput Activation → Encoder → Sparse Features → Decoder → Reconstructed Activation\n    (d_model)       ↓        (d_sae >> d_model)    ↓         (d_model)\n                 sparsity                      reconstruction\n                 penalty                          loss\n```\n\n**Loss Function**: `MSE(original, reconstructed) + L1_coefficient × L1(features)`\n\n### Key Validation (Anthropic Research)\n\nIn \"Towards Monosemanticity\", human evaluators found **70% of SAE features genuinely interpretable**. Features discovered include:\n- DNA sequences, legal language, HTTP requests\n- Hebrew text, nutrition statements, code syntax\n- Sentiment, named entities, grammatical structures\n\n## Workflow 1: Loading and Analyzing Pre-trained SAEs\n\n### Step-by-Step\n\n```python\nfrom transformer_lens import HookedTransformer\nfrom sae_lens import SAE\n\n# 1. Load model and pre-trained SAE\nmodel = HookedTransformer.from_pretrained(\"gpt2-small\", device=\"cuda\")\nsae, cfg_dict, sparsity = SAE.from_pretrained(\n    release=\"gpt2-small-res-jb\",\n    sae_id=\"blocks.8.hook_resid_pre\",\n    device=\"cuda\"\n)\n\n# 2. Get model activations\ntokens = model.to_tokens(\"The capital of France is Paris\")\n_, cache = model.run_with_cache(tokens)\nactivations = cache[\"resid_pre\", 8]  # [batch, pos, d_model]\n\n# 3. Encode to SAE features\nsae_features = sae.encode(activations)  # [batch, pos, d_sae]\nprint(f\"Active features: {(sae_features > 0).sum()}\")\n\n# 4. Find top features for each position\nfor pos in range(tokens.shape[1]):\n    top_features = sae_features[0, pos].topk(5)\n    token = model.to_str_tokens(tokens[0, pos:pos+1])[0]\n    print(f\"Token '{token}': features {top_features.indices.tolist()}\")\n\n# 5. Reconstruct activations\nreconstructed = sae.decode(sae_features)\nreconstruction_error = (activations - reconstructed).norm()\n```\n\n### Available Pre-trained SAEs\n\n| Release | Model | Layers |\n|---------|-------|--------|\n| `gpt2-small-res-jb` | GPT-2 Small | Multiple residual streams |\n| `gemma-2b-res` | Gemma 2B | Residual streams |\n| Various on HuggingFace | Search tag `saelens` | Various |\n\n### Checklist\n- [ ] Load model with TransformerLens\n- [ ] Load matching SAE for target layer\n- [ ] Encode activations to sparse features\n- [ ] Identify top-activating features per token\n- [ ] Validate reconstruction quality\n\n## Workflow 2: Training a Custom SAE\n\n### Step-by-Step\n\n```python\nfrom sae_lens import SAE, LanguageModelSAERunnerConfig, SAETrainingRunner\n\n# 1.

Lower = better reconstruction\n    d_sae=768 * 16,       # More capacity\n)\n```\n\n### Issue: Features not interpretable\n```python\n# Increase sparsity (higher L1)\ncfg = LanguageModelSAERunnerConfig(\n    l1_coefficient=1e-4,  # Higher = sparser, more interpretable\n)\n# Or use TopK architecture\ncfg = LanguageModelSAERunnerConfig(\n    architecture=\"topk\",\n    activation_fn_kwargs={\"k\": 50},  # Exactly 50 active features\n)\n```\n\n### Issue: Memory errors during training\n```python\ncfg = LanguageModelSAERunnerConfig(\n    train_batch_size_tokens=2048,  # Reduce batch size\n    store_batch_size_prompts=4,    # Fewer prompts in buffer\n    n_batches_in_buffer=8,         # Smaller activation buffer\n)\n```\n\n## Integration with Neuronpedia\n\nBrowse pre-trained SAE features at [neuronpedia.org](https://neuronpedia.org):\n\n```python\n# Features are indexed by SAE ID\n# Example: gpt2-small layer 8 feature 1234\n# → neuronpedia.org/gpt2-small/8-res-jb/1234\n```\n\n## Key Classes Reference\n\n| Class | Purpose |\n|-------|---------|\n| `SAE` | Sparse Autoencoder model |\n| `LanguageModelSAERunnerConfig` | Training configuration |\n| `SAETrainingRunner` | Training loop manager |\n| `ActivationsStore` | Activation collection and batching |\n| `HookedSAETransformer` | TransformerLens + SAE integration |\n\n## Reference Documentation\n\nFor detailed API documentation, tutorials, and advanced usage, see the `references/` folder:\n\n| File | Contents |\n|------|----------|\n| [references/README.md](references/README.md) | Overview and quick start guide |\n| [references/api.md](references/api.md) | Complete API reference for SAE, TrainingSAE, configurations |\n| [references/tutorials.md](references/tutorials.md) | Step-by-step tutorials for training, analysis, steering |\n\n## External Resources\n\n### Tutorials\n- [Basic Loading & Analysis](https://github.com/jbloomAus/SAELens/blob/main/tutorials/basic_loading_and_analysing.ipynb)\n- [Training a Sparse Autoencoder](https://github.com/jbloomAus/SAELens/blob/main/tutorials/training_a_sparse_autoencoder.ipynb)\n- [ARENA SAE Curriculum](https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/LnHowHgmrMbWtpkxx/intro-to-superposition-and-sparse-autoencoders-colab)\n\n### Papers\n- [Towards Monosemanticity](https://transformer-circuits.pub/2023/monosemantic-features) - Anthropic (2023)\n- [Scaling Monosemanticity](https://transformer-circuits.pub/2024/scaling-monosemanticity/) - Anthropic (2024)\n- [Sparse ","tagline":"Provides guidance for training and analyzing Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs) using SAELens to decompose neural network activations into interpretable features.
