This thread builds on a research direction raised by Ryan Greenblatt: if systems move toward latent reasoning architectures like COCONUT, how would we decode that into something resembling the corresponding chain-of-thought? The quoting researcher argues interp is worth nurturing as a hedge against the possibility that people (or AIs) will develop latent reasoning anyway, betting Greenblatt and peers would agree.
