have some Moonshine! It's a skill developed in collaboration with @syntagmatic for dealing with the ever growing Complexity Debt we are facing with AI assistance.

The name pays homage to Distill, as the goal is to DIY high-quality interactive articles to explain technical concepts.

I've been daily-driving @nicopreme's visual-explainer skill for the 2 months and wanted to build on the idea by injecting the tastes and patterns laid out by some of the best researchers and designers we've worked with or learned from.

The result has been an explosion of creativity that is already too much to process, but this thread will do its best to showcase what I find most exciting!

I'm excited to share several repos, datasets and models for SAEs on sentence embeddings!

First: a visual interface to the features learned by an SAE, inspired by @neuronpedia

search and browse features, see top activating examples and find similar features

[Ian Johnson 🔬🤖 @enjalot]

i'm so excited, it looks like organizing a dataset by SAE activations can expose more structure than raw embeddings!

here are 2 umaps of 50k dad jokes embedded with nomic-text-v1.5

right is umap of the top 64 features from SAE trained on FineWeb-edu-10BT sample
