And these steering gradients are meaningful in transition as well! See how this smile transforms to a :| face before becoming a frown as we steer negatively on the “say smile” motor feature we found above.

The coolest part is that just like Golden Gate Claude, we can steer with many of these features, transforming a smiley face to wrinkly face, an owl, or an eyeball!

And yes, we checked that this works for human-made SVGs too! I drew this (imo cuter) dog and found many of the same features as on the Claude-generated dog above (which honestly looks more like a bear!)

It gets richer as the models improve. Compared to Haiku 3.5, we find a trove of interesting features in the Sonnet 4.5 base model. From various animal body parts, to “motor” neuron features like “say smile” that activate ahead of the ASCII mouth, to features that perceive “size”!

This understanding is context dependent – the eyes feature light up as soon as you give enough characters to form the top of the head!
Only a single _ is needed, as well as a / \ forehead for the 2nd @ to activate the "eyes" feature above.

What happens when you turn a designer into an interpretability researcher? They spend hours staring at feature activations in SVG code to see if LLMs actually understand SVGs. It turns out – yes~
We found that semantic concepts transfer across text, ASCII, and SVG:
