Research for Frontier Alignment

Measure what models do inside, not just what they say.

Infrastructure for Mechanistic Interpretability. Use dictionary learning and sparse autoencoders (SAEs) to audit internal activations and monitor model behavior at scale.

Interpretability as Governance

Peer inside the "black box" of artificial intelligence.

The Status Quo

Traditional evaluation relies on benchmarks and outputs. But fluency is not reliability. Mechanistic interpretability analyzes internal activations to extract discrete concepts before they reach the surface, turning "trust me" into "here is the evidence."

The NeuronLens Way

NeuronLens builds the production discipline for interpretability: measurable signals, continuous monitoring, and controlled intervention. We help frontier labs and enterprise teams monitor internal feature drift and ensure safety in high-stakes deployments.

Comprehensive Suite of Interpretability Tools

Everything you need to analyze, monitor, and influence model behavior.

Explore all features

Reasoning Lens

See whether a model's reasoning actually supports its answer — or if it's just generating confident-sounding text.

Agent Lens

Detect when an agent's internal signals disagree with the tools it actually calls — before it causes a problem.

Hallucination Lens

Flag claims the model makes without internal knowledge to back them up, in real time.

SLM Lens

Understand where a fine-tuned model is strong and where it struggles — so you can fix it, not just retrain it.

Trading Lens

Inspect how a model processes financial data and validate that its signals are grounded, not spurious.

Search & Steer

Find the internal features that drive any behavior and adjust them directly — no retraining required.

This is beyond just output monitoring

Why mechanistic interpretation is the future of AI safety.

Standard Evaluation Tools

  • Relies on behavioral testing (black box)
  • Cannot predict failure modes before they happen
  • No causal understanding of "why"
  • Limited to input-output correlation

NeuronLens Approach

  • Direct inspection of internal activations
  • Predictive failure detection via circuit analysis
  • Causal tracing of features to outputs
  • Precise steering with activation patching
