Model Card for tim-lawson/mlsae-pythia-160m-deduped-x16-k32-tfm

A Multi-Layer Sparse Autoencoder (MLSAE) trained on the residual stream activation vectors from EleutherAI/pythia-160m-deduped with an expansion factor of R = 16 and sparsity k = 32, over 1 billion tokens from monology/pile-uncopyrighted.

This model is a PyTorch Lightning MLSAETransformer module, which includes the underlying transformer.
