SAELens: Sparse Autoencoders for Mechanistic Interpretability
SAELens 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.
GitHub: jbloomAus/SAELens (1,100+ stars)
The Problem: Polysemanticity & Superposition
Individual 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.
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.
When to Use SAELens
Use SAELens when you need to:
- Discover interpretable features in model activations
- Understand what concepts a model has learned
- Study superposition and feature geometry
- Perform feature-based steering or ablation
- Analyze safety-relevant features (deception, bias, harmful content)
Consider alternatives when:
- You need basic activation analysis → Use TransformerLens directly
- You want causal intervention experiments → Use pyvene or TransformerLens
- You need production steering → Consider direct activation engineering
Installation
pip install sae-lens
Requirements: Python 3.10+, transformer-lens>=2.0.0
Core Concepts
What SAEs Learn
SAEs are trained to reconstruct model activations through a sparse bottleneck:
Input Activation → Encoder → Sparse Features → Decoder → Reconstructed Activation
(d_model) ↓ (d_sae >> d_model) ↓ (d_model)
sparsity reconstruction
penalty loss
Loss Function: MSE(original, reconstructed) + L1_coefficient × L1(features)
Key Validation (Anthropic Research)
In "Towards Monosemanticity", human evaluators found 70% of SAE features genuinely interpretable. Features discovered include:
- DNA sequences, legal language, HTTP requests
- Hebrew text, nutrition statements, code syntax
- Sentiment, named entities, grammatical structures
Workflow 1: Loading and Analyzing Pre-trained SAEs
Step-by-Step
from transformer_lens import HookedTransformer
from sae_lens import SAE
# 1. Load model and pre-trained SAE
model = HookedTransformer.from_pretrained("gpt2-small", device="cuda")
sae, cfg_dict, sparsity = SAE.from_pretrained(
release="gpt2-small-res-jb",
sae_id="blocks.8.hook_resid_pre",
device="cuda"
)
# 2. Get model activations
tokens = model.to_tokens("The capital of France is Paris")
_, cache = model.run_with_cache(tokens)
activations = cache["resid_pre", 8] # [batch, pos, d_model]
# 3. Encode to SAE features
sae_features = sae.encode(activations) # [batch, pos, d_sae]
print(f"Active features: {(sae_features > 0).sum()}")
# 4. Find top features for each position
for pos in range(tokens.shape[1]):
top_features = sae_features[0, pos].topk(5)
token = model.to_str_tokens(tokens[0, pos:pos+1])[0]
print(f"Token '{token}': features {top_features.indices.tolist()}")
# 5. Reconstruct activations
reconstructed = sae.decode(sae_features)
reconstruction_error = (activations - reconstructed).norm()
Available Pre-trained SAEs
| Release | Model | Layers |
|---|---|---|
gpt2-small-res-jb | GPT-2 Small | Multiple residual streams |
gemma-2b-res | Gemma 2B | Residual streams |
| Various on HuggingFace | Search tag saelens | Various |
Checklist
- Load model with TransformerLens
- Load matching SAE for target layer
- Encode activations to sparse features
- Identify top-activating features per token
- Validate reconstruction quality
Workflow 2: Training a Custom SAE
Step-by-Step
from sae_lens import SAE, LanguageModelSAERunnerConfig, SAETrainingRunner
# 1. Configure training
cfg = LanguageModelSAERunnerConfig(
# Model
model_name="gpt2-small",
hook_name="blocks.8.hook_resid_pre",
hook_layer=8,
d_in=768, # Model dimension
# SAE architecture
architecture="standard", # or "gated", "topk"
d_sae=768 * 8, # Expansion factor of 8
activation_fn="relu",
# Training
lr=4e-4,
l1_coefficient=8e-5, # Sparsity penalty
l1_warm_up_steps=1000,
train_batch_size_tokens=4096,
training_tokens=100_000_000,
# Data
dataset_path="monology/pile-uncopyrighted",
context_size=128,
# Logging
log_to_wandb=True,

sae = trainer.run()
# 3. Evaluate
print(f"L0 (avg active features): {trainer.metrics['l0']}")
print(f"CE Loss Recovered: {trainer.metrics['ce_loss_score']}")
Key Hyperparameters
| Parameter | Typical Value | Effect |
|---|---|---|
d_sae | 4-16× d_model | More features, higher capacity |
l1_coefficient | 5e-5 to 1e-4 | Higher = sparser, less accurate |
lr | 1e-4 to 1e-3 | Standard optimizer LR |
l1_warm_up_steps | 500-2000 | Prevents early feature death |
Evaluation Metrics
| Metric | Target | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| L0 | 50-200 | Average active features per token |
| CE Loss Score | 80-95% | Cross-entropy recovered vs original |
| Dead Features | <5% | Features that never activate |
| Explained Variance | >90% | Reconstruction quality |
Checklist
- Choose target layer and hook point
- Set expansion factor (d_sae = 4-16× d_model)
- Tune L1 coefficient for desired sparsity
- Enable L1 warm-up to prevent dead features
- Monitor metrics during training (W&B)
- Validate L0 and CE loss recovery
- Check dead feature ratio

Feature Steering
def steer_with_feature(model, sae, prompt, feature_idx, strength=5.0):
"""Add SAE feature direction to residual stream."""
tokens = model.to_tokens(prompt)
# Get feature direction from decoder
feature_direction = sae.W_dec[feature_idx] # [d_model]
def steering_hook(activation, hook):
# Add scaled feature direction at all positions
activation += strength * feature_direction
return activation
# Generate with steering
output = model.generate(
tokens,
max_new_tokens=50,
fwd_hooks=[("blocks.8.hook_resid_pre", steering_hook)]
)
return model.to_string(output[0])
Feature Attribution
# Which features most affect a specific output?
tokens = model.to_tokens("The capital of France is")
_, cache = model.run_with_cache(tokens)
# Get features at final position
features = sae.encode(cache["resid_pre", 8])[0, -1] # [d_sae]
# Get logit attribution per feature
# Feature contribution = feature_activation × decoder_weight × unembedding

W_U = model.W_U # [d_model, vocab]
# Contribution to "Paris" logit

feature_contributions = features * (W_dec @ W_U[:, paris_token])
top_features = feature_contributions.topk(10)
print("Top features for 'Paris' prediction:")
for idx, val in zip(top_features.indices, top_features.values):
print(f" Feature {idx.item()}: {val.item():.3f}")
Common Issues & Solutions
Issue: High dead feature ratio
# WRONG: No warm-up, features die early
cfg = LanguageModelSAERunnerConfig(
l1_coefficient=1e-4,
l1_warm_up_steps=0, # Bad!
)
# RIGHT: Warm-up L1 penalty
cfg = LanguageModelSAERunnerConfig(
l1_coefficient=8e-5,
l1_warm_up_steps=1000, # Gradually increase
use_ghost_grads=True, # Revive dead features
)
Issue: Poor reconstruction (low CE recovery)
# Reduce sparsity penalty
cfg = LanguageModelSAERunnerConfig(
l1_coefficient=5e-5, # Lower = better reconstruction
d_sae=768 * 16, # More capacity
)
Issue: Features not interpretable
# Increase sparsity (higher L1)
cfg = LanguageModelSAERunnerConfig(
l1_coefficient=1e-4, # Higher = sparser, more interpretable
)
# Or use TopK architecture
cfg = LanguageModelSAERunnerConfig(
architecture="topk",
activation_fn_kwargs={"k": 50}, # Exactly 50 active features
)
Issue: Memory errors during training
cfg = LanguageModelSAERunnerConfig(
train_batch_size_tokens=2048, # Reduce batch size
store_batch_size_prompts=4, # Fewer prompts in buffer
n_batches_in_buffer=8, # Smaller activation buffer
)
