Frontier labs don't use most AI compute (yet) (26 minute read)
The current rate of scaling compute isn't sustainable unless AI starts to dramatically accelerate economic growth. There is no guarantee that this rate of AI capex spending can continue after 2026. However, flat compute capex is still growing the compute stock for years. AI chips will still improve, and companies can research and train models even with a fixed amount of compute.

Can SAEs Capture Neural Geometry? (6 minute read)
Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) can help explore neural geometry by representing curved manifolds using several distinct methods, including shattering, compact capture, and dilution. The study reveals that each SAE feature only represents part of the whole manifold, necessitating the clustering of features to understand the overall structure. An unsupervised pipeline leveraging these findings could enhance our understanding of neural networks by reconstructing the internal geometric structures on their terms.
