New method exposes AI hidden reasoning

A novel technique allows researchers to analyze and interpret the internal decision-making processes of large language models. By observing the activation patterns within models like Claude, Gemini, and GPT, scientists can better understand how these systems arrive at specific outputs. This development aims to increase transparency into the 'black box' nature of advanced artificial intelligence.
