Sviatoslav Chalnev

TeamIndividual
Individual

Sviatoslav (Slava) Chalnev is an AI researcher based in Sydney, Australia, with a background in mechanistic interpretability and AI safety. He studied at The Australian National University and subsequently pursued independent interpretability research funded by two Long-Term Future Fund stipends totaling $75,000, focused on mechanistic interpretability methods and open-source tooling. He participated in the MATS 6.0 program under Arthur Conmy, resulting in the paper "Improving Steering Vectors by Targeting Sparse Autoencoder Features" (arXiv:2411.02193, 2024), which introduced SAE-Targeted Steering (SAE-TS), a method for constructing steering vectors that target specific sparse autoencoder features while minimizing unintended side effects. He also co-authored "A Single Direction of Truth" (arXiv:2507.23221, 2025), demonstrating that a linear probe on an observer model's residual stream can detect and causally steer contextual hallucinations in language models. More recently, Chalnev co-founded Integuide, an AI startup building tools to capture and disseminate expert technician knowledge, which was part of the Startmate Winter 2025 accelerator cohort.

Hoagy Cunningham

TeamIndividual
Individual

Hoagy Cunningham is an AI safety researcher currently working at Anthropic, where he has contributed to both interpretability and safeguards research. He holds a 2:1 in Politics, Philosophy and Economics from The Queen's College, Oxford, and earlier in his career worked as a researcher at Full Fact, the UK fact-checking charity, and as an economist. He became a SERI MATS scholar under Lee Sharkey and is the lead author of "Sparse Autoencoders Find Highly Interpretable Features in Language Models" (ICLR 2024), a foundational paper demonstrating that sparse autoencoders can recover monosemantic, interpretable features from language model activations. This work was independently developed in parallel with similar research published by Anthropic and generated significant excitement in the mechanistic interpretability community. He received Long-Term Future Fund grants supporting his sparse coding research and work on preventing steganography in interpretable representations. At Anthropic, he has contributed to research on scaling monosemanticity, constitutional classifiers for jailbreak defense, and auditing language models for hidden objectives.

Chris Mathwin is a mechanistic interpretability researcher based in Sydney, Australia. He holds a Master of Engineering in Civil Engineering from the University of Melbourne and transitioned into AI safety research through programs including AI Safety Camp (AISC8, 2023) and the ML Alignment Theory Scholars (MATS) program, where he worked under Lee Sharkey at Apollo Research. His primary research focuses on understanding how representations are distributed across attention heads in transformer models; this work produced the 2024 paper "Gated Attention Blocks: Preliminary Progress toward Removing Attention Head Superposition" (co-authored with Dennis Akar). He has also participated in multiple mechanistic interpretability hackathons, including a top-ranked submission identifying a circuit for predicting gendered pronouns in GPT-2 Small (with Guillaume Corlouer, London EA Hub). He received a grant from the Long-Term Future Fund to support a 6-month salary for an AI Safety Camp project and continuing independent mechanistic interpretability research. He is currently a Founding Research Engineer at Harmony Intelligence, an AI safety startup focused on evaluations and red teaming.
