Some cool work that I co-mentored with @NeelNanda5

I recommend the appendix section on practical AO evaluation details.

In particular, consensus sampling significantly reduces hallucinations, and eval performance majorly improves with more collected activations.

New research from @japhba and I!

Activation Oracles are a pretty cool interpretability tool. They answer natural questions about activations, but they suffer from vagueness and hallucinations. Can AO training be improved?

Turns out: Yes! We identify four fixes that make AOs substantially more useful!
