Code Data Reshapes Model Workspaces

This post shares new findings regarding jspace, focusing on version changes between @poolsideai's Laguna XS.2 and XS.2.1, and the optimizer's impact.

The core conclusion is that when fitted with code prompts, the workspaces of the two versions differ significantly. With wikitext prompts, they are generally similar, though structural similarities remain in the final layers, aligning with the "motor" sections mentioned in Anthropic's paper. The author believes the transition from XS.2 to XS.2.1 is likely driven by larger volumes of code data, significantly altering the model's internal representations.
