The Take
Interpretability stopped being a research toy and started producing readable internal traces from a production model. Simultaneously, local inference got faster, cheaper hardware arrived, and LLMs proved they can harden real infrastructure. The frontier is shifting from "build bigger" to "understand, optimize, and deploy what we have."
