Capture: Does Anthropic's "On the Biology of a Large Language Model" say refusal circuitry activates primarily at sentence boundaries?

capture promoted Tier 1 2026-07-24 · anthropic, interpretability, mechanistic-interpretability, circuit-tracing, refusal
In the BOMB jailbreak, sentence-boundary features delay an already-triggered refusal rather than cause it, and the paper flags the mechanism as not fully traced

Anthropic's biology-of-an-LLM report frames general refusal as a harmful-request-recognition feature chain, not sentence-structure detection

Claude has a default 'decline to answer' circuit suppressed by known-entity features, and hallucination is a misfire of that suppression
