For what it's worth, we think it's unfortunately quite unlikely that frontier models will ever be trained with extreme unstructured sparsity, even with custom sparsity optimized hardware. Our main hope is that understanding sub-frontier models can still help a lot with ensuring safety of frontier models; an interpretable GPT-3 would be a very valuable object to have. It may also be possible to adapt our method to only explaining very small but important subsets of the model.
