Why This Project Exists The Anthropic Hiring Signal

This is the only portfolio project that replicates what Anthropic's safety team does as their actual daily job.

Every other project calls AI APIs, trains models, or builds infra. CircuitScope opens the model like a brain and asks: "Which specific neurons fired to produce this output? Which attention heads communicate to solve this task? What does this model actually know — and how does it represent it?"

Three research artifacts this project produces:
1
A replicated IOI circuit

26 attention heads in GPT-2 Small, verified with activation patching and faithfulness scoring (87% recovered).

2
A Sparse Autoencoder trained from scratch

Reproducing Anthropic's Towards Monosemanticity findings: 70% interpretable features vs neuron-level baseline on GPT-2 Small MLP activations.

3
An original finding

A blog-published observation about where circuits generalize or break — partial induction head activation (37-52%) on Python variable shadowing patterns.
