At the link above, we report some developing work from the Anthropic Interpretability team on Crosscoder Model Diffing, which might be of interest to researchers working actively in this space.

As ever, we'd ask readers to treat these results like those of a colleague sharing some thoughts or preliminary experiments for a few minutes at a lab meeting, rather than a mature paper.
