Researcher Predicts Mechanistic Interpretability Monitoring to Surpass Chain-of-Thought Within a Year

Commentators argue that monitorability is an essential invariant, predicting that mechanistic interpretability-based monitoring will Pareto-dominate chain-of-thought monitors within a year. Another view holds that any circuit computation by models is essentially "neural language," with frontier models advancing in circuit computation every few months.
