|
||
|
||
## Installation
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
pip install sae-lens
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Requirements: Python 3.10+, transformer-lens>=2.0.0
|
||
|
||
## Basic Usage
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
from transformer_lens import HookedTransformer
|
||
from sae_lens import SAE
|
||
|
||
# Load model and SAE
|
||
model = HookedTransformer.from_pretrained("gpt2-small", device="cuda")
|
||
sae, cfg_dict, sparsity = SAE.from_pretrained(
|
||
release="gpt2-small-res-jb",
|
||
sae_id="blocks.8.hook_resid_pre",
|
||
device="cuda"
|
||
)
|
||
|
||
# Encode activations to sparse features
|
||
tokens = model.to_tokens("Hello world")
|
||
_, cache = model.run_with_cache(tokens)
|
||
activations = cache["resid_pre", 8]
|
||
|
||
features = sae.encode(activations) # Sparse feature activations
|
||
reconstructed = sae.decode(features) # Reconstructed activations
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Key Concepts
|
||
|
||
### Sparse Autoencoders
|
||
SAEs decompose dense neural activations into sparse, interpretable features:
|
||
- **Encoder**: Maps d_model → d_sae (typically 4-16x expansion)
|
||
- **ReLU/TopK**: Enforces sparsity
|
||
- **Decoder**: Reconstructs original activations
|
||
|
||
### Training Loss
|
||
`Loss = MSE(original, reconstructed) + L1_coefficient × L1(features)`
|
||
|
||
### Key Metrics
|
||
- **L0**: Average number of active features (target: 50-200)
|
||
- **CE Loss Score**: Cross-entropy recovered vs original model (target: 80-95%)
|
||
- **Dead Features**: Features that never activate (target: <5%)
|
