Lots of progress in mech interp (MI) lately! But how can we measure when new mech interp methods yield real improvements over prior work? We propose 😎 𝗠𝗜𝗕: a 𝗠echanistic 𝗜nterpretability 𝗕enchmark!

This week is #ICML in Vancouver, and a number of our researchers are participating. Here's the full list of Ai2's conference engagements—we look forward to connecting with fellow attendees. 👋

A bit late to announce, but I’m excited to share that I'll be starting as an assistant professor at UMD CS @univofmaryland.bsky.social this August. I'll be recruiting PhD students this upcoming cycle for fall 2026. (And if you're a UMD grad student, sign up for my fall seminar!)

🚨 We're looking for more reviewers for the workshop! 📆 Review period: May 24-June 7 If you're passionate about making interpretability useful and want to help shape the conversation, we'd love your input. 💡🔍 Self-nominate here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Checkout our new preprint/project which has been over a year in the making! This has been a very fun collaboration (and one of the biggest I've personally participated in). @amuuueller.bsky.social @boknilev.bsky.social and other co-authors are around #ICLR2025 if you want to find out more. 😊
