Goodfire Traces LLM Neurons to Steer Models Away from Endorsing Drunk Driving
leedsharkey · x · 2026-07-31
Goodfire demonstrates its model interpretability technology, which traces an LLM's internal neuron activations to understand why it makes certain decisions.
In a case study, the team found that an LLM sometimes endorsed drunk driving. By leveraging neuron-level insights, they were able to intervene and steer the model toward better decisions.
