Compared architecture and weight differences between checkpoints.
UnderstandAnalyzed attention and MLP weight compositions and candidate units.
UnderstandTested hypotheses on coordinate changes and numerical rounding effects.
UnderstandExamined subspace overlaps and residual-stream connections.
UnderstandEvaluated final normalization gain effects on candidate units.
