Thanks for writing this - I've found it useful in my current attempts to survey some key mechanistic interpretability literature.

I’m personally pretty meh about the majority of the academic field of interpretability
A bit confused by this. This paper's abstract and intro claim to be focusing on inner interpretability methods - which they define as learned features and internal structure. This seems to fit my idea of what mechanistic interpretability is pretty well, but you seem to classify i... (read more)
