Reading a Sentence Vector
Text-autoencoder research, in one place: the new-research roundup, the unfinished Campaign100 paper, the wider literature review, and the experiment kanban. What a sentence vector encodes, and what we can read, edit, or audit inside it.

ParaScopes: Reading a Model's Next Paragraph
Can you read what a model is about to say from its residual stream? A study on Llama-3.2-3B: when an upcoming topic Y becomes readable while it writes about X (near-absent mid-paragraph across 5 readers; not causal at 3B), and how far a LoRA continuation reader can be pushed (decode SBERT 0.670, +84% over the champion probe). Plus a 35-paper map of the meta-model / J-space reading toolkit and an interactive token-by-token J-lens explorer on real activations.
Updated 2026-07-15
The Newline Decision
Inject a paragraph break mid-generation and Llama-3.2-3B faces a fork: keep elaborating the current topic, or move to the next one. That choice turns out to be a single linear direction in the mid layers — readable at 0.93 with the period held fixed, and steerable both ways (P(advance) sweeps 0.07→0.93; a random control can't manufacture the switch). Replicate → probe → causal dose–response, with an honest note on where the dial breaks.

ParaScopes vs. Natural Language Autoencoders
Side-by-side of two "activations → readable text" methods — ParaScopes reads the future (next-paragraph probe via SONAR); Anthropic's NLA reads the present (RL-trained verbalizer/reconstructor). Comparison matrix + framing.

Updated 2026-06-19
TeX vs PDF: How an LLM Reads a Paper
Controlled test across two papers (math-heavy APD + figure-heavy DiffusionGemma): does handing an agent LaTeX source beat the PDF for rebuilding the method? Verdict — no fidelity gain, often higher cost; a local PDF keeps the agent from roaming to HTML. Per-condition token traces + charts.
