Anthropic found a hidden space where Claude puzzles over concepts<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe AI firm Anthropic has got the clearest glimpse yet at what\u2019s really going on inside large language models as they answer questions or carry out tasks. What they found ranges from the mundane to the unnerving. <\/p>\n
Researchers at the company built a tool called the Jacobian lens (or J-lens) and used it to uncover a hidden area, which they named the J-space, inside its flagship LLM, Claude.<\/p>\n
The J-space contains words related to the response a model is working on but may not ultimately produce. If Claude were a person (which it is not), you might say these hidden words reveal what\u2019s on its mind before it actually speaks. <\/p>\n
Read the full story on what they found.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nB.F. SKINNER FOUNDATION<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
Why we should thank pigeons for our AI breakthroughs<\/strong><\/h4>\nIn 1943, psychologist B.F. Skinner led a secret government project to make bombs more precise. His idea: teach pigeons to guide missiles by pecking at targets on a screen inside a warhead. To train them, Skinner rewarded the birds with food when they made the right decisions, using trial and error to shape their behavior.<\/p>\n
Unsurprisingly, the military never deployed Skinner\u2019s kamikaze pigeons. Yet his experiments convinced him that pigeons were \u201can extremely reliable instrument\u201d for studying learning. <\/p>\n
Decades later, those same principles would help power reinforcement learning, the technology behind some of today\u2019s most advanced AI systems.<\/p>\n
Discover how pigeons inspired one of AI\u2019s most powerful techniques.<\/p>\n
