A new idea compares fine-tuned weights to the base model with visualized deltas

The author says the new Generalist post is interesting but still sparsely written.

One idea they highlight is comparing a fine-tuned model’s weights against the base model’s weights, then visualizing the difference. They think the visualization looks appealing, but it is still unclear how informative or useful it is.

They plan to try the method on their own models and share the results.
