Kajetan Janiak

TeamIndividual
Individual

Kajetan Janiak (publicly known as Jett Janiak) is a mechanistic interpretability researcher from Poland who studied at the University of Warsaw, where he completed an MS in the Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Mechanics. He participated in the MATS (ML Alignment & Theory Scholars) Winter 2023 cohort under Neel Nanda's mentorship and later in a subsequent MATS cohort under Arthur Conmy, both in the mechanistic interpretability stream. His research focuses on understanding the internal mechanisms of transformer models, including work on polysemantic attention heads, circuit discovery in small transformers, stable regions in the residual stream of LLMs, sparse autoencoders, and chain-of-thought faithfulness in frontier models. He has co-authored several papers and Alignment Forum posts, including "Chain-of-Thought Reasoning In The Wild Is Not Always Faithful" (ICLR 2025 workshop) and "Characterizing Stable Regions in the Residual Stream of LLMs." He has also been involved with AI Safety Camp as a project lead. He received a grant from the Long-Term Future Fund to cover costs of leaving employment in order to pursue AI safety research.

Lucy Farnik is a PhD student at the University of Bristol (2023 cohort) in the UKRI Centre for Doctoral Training in Interactive Artificial Intelligence, supervised by Dr Conor Houghton and Mengyue Yang, with her research titled "Towards interpretable and controllable deep language modeling." She completed ARENA and the MATS research program under the mentorship of Neel Nanda at Google DeepMind, during which she explored SAE-based circuit-style analysis — work that led to an LTFF extension grant. Her research focuses on mechanistic interpretability of large language models, particularly sparse autoencoders (SAEs), with publications including "Residual Stream Analysis with Multi-Layer SAEs" (ICLR 2025) and "Jacobian Sparse Autoencoders: Sparsify Computations, Not Just Activations" (ICML 2025). She has also been affiliated with FAR.AI and co-founded BAISC (Bristol AI Safety Student Community), a student research centre focused on AI safety. Her background includes a BEng in Computer Science with Innovation from the University of Bristol and extensive software engineering experience starting from an early age.
