Bryce Meyer is a software engineer and the primary maintainer of TransformerLens, the leading open-source library for mechanistic interpretability research on GPT-style language models. TransformerLens was originally created by Neel Nanda and allows researchers to load 50+ open-source language models and inspect their internal activations, making it the de facto standard tool for mechanistic interpretability work at organizations including Anthropic, Meta Research, Redwood Research, and Apollo Research. Meyer has maintained the library with a track record of consistent contributions, rapid iteration to support newly released models, and active community support via a weekly live-coding stream in the Open Source Mechanistic Interpretability Slack. He received a $50,000 grant from the Long-Term Future Fund in 2023 to build and enhance open-source mechanistic interpretability tooling, followed by a $90,000 year-long LTFF stipend to serve as TransformerLens's primary maintainer. He is also the president of Pomelo Productions, an independent software development studio based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and a self-taught developer with many years of professional engineering experience.

Johannes C. Mayer is an independent AI alignment researcher and game developer who has dedicated his career to addressing AI existential risk. He participates in the AI safety research community through LessWrong and the AI Alignment Forum, where he has published over 76 posts on topics including structural approaches to alignment, computational models of intelligence, and world model interpretability. He completed the MATS Summer 2022 cohort under the mentorship of Evan Hubinger, and has served as a mentor for the Supervised Program for Alignment Research (SPAR) at UC Berkeley. His research agenda focuses on translating intuitive concepts such as goals, wanting, and abilities into formal computational frameworks, and on constraining AI reasoning processes structurally rather than purely specifying outcome-level objectives. He received a grant from the Long-Term Future Fund to pursue this research on turning intuitions about intelligence into concepts applicable to computational systems.

Alexander Matt Turner, known online as TurnTrout, is a research scientist at Google DeepMind on the Scalable Alignment team, based in Berkeley, California. He earned his PhD in computer science from Oregon State University (2016–2022) under advisor Prasad Tadepalli, followed by a postdoc at UC Berkeley's Center for Human-Compatible AI (CHAI) from 2022 to 2023. His research spans several key areas of AI alignment: he developed Attainable Utility Preservation (AUP), a framework for low-impact AI; proved mathematically that optimal policies tend to seek power, published as a NeurIPS 2021 spotlight paper; co-developed shard theory (with Quintin Pope), a framework modeling AI and human values as situationally activated goal components; and pioneered activation engineering and steering vectors for controlling model behavior at inference time. At Google DeepMind, his current work includes consistency training to reduce sycophancy and jailbreaks in Gemini models. He is also a MATS mentor through his Team Shard program, supporting junior alignment researchers.
