Introducing the OpenAI Safety Bug Bounty program

OpenAI just released a report on experimenting with sparsely-connected models to see if they are more interpretable than densely-connected models. They are, and the OpenAI team found they could identify the exact circuit computing a general function of interest. We give a short summary of their work with links to their blog post and article, and compare with Stephen Wolfram's 2024 investigation of the smallest net that could compute a given simple function.
