Inside the Neural Cathedral: Cracking the AI Black Box

Logosofia no Dia a Dia · Mar 11, 2026 · 25m

For years, the inner workings of large language models have been treated as a mysterious "black box" where inputs turn into outputs through a process that looks more like magic than math. This episode dives into the cutting-edge field of mechanistic interpretability, exploring how researchers are finally reverse-engineering the "neural cathedrals" of AI to map out the specific circuits that drive machine logic. From the strange geometry of high-dimensional superposition to the discovery of "Golden Gate Claude" via sparse autoencoders, we explore how these models organize millions of concepts…
