Model Card for tim-lawson/mlsae-pythia-70m-deduped-x128-k32

A Multi-Layer Sparse Autoencoder (MLSAE) trained on the residual stream activation vectors from EleutherAI/pythia-70m-deduped with an expansion factor of R = 128 and sparsity k = 32, over 1 billion tokens from monology/pile-uncopyrighted.

This model is a PyTorch TopKSAE module, which does not include the underlying transformer.
