The interpretability findings are validated across GPT-2, Mistral 7B, and Llama 3 8B model families, with references also to GPT-4 and Claude 3 indicating intended generality.

Summary

The interpretability results hold up across GPT-2, Mistral, and Llama architectures, with the authors also pointing toward GPT-4 and Claude 3, which suggests the findings reflect something fundamental about how these models represent and process information rather than a quirk of one particular training setup. This matters because it gives the system more confidence to treat the conclusions as broadly applicable across model families, not narrowly scoped to a single architecture.
