Happy to have you with us!) 🕓 **Agenda** 17:25 Arrival and get-together 17:30 Welcome and short introduction 17:35 Paper discussion 18:25 Wrap-up and open exchange 18:30 End of event 📘 **Preparation** Please read the selected article in advance so that you're familiar with the main ideas and key concepts. We won't present the article in detail, instead, we'll focus our time on discussing its content, insights, and real-world implications. **Paper:** A Global Workspace in Language Models ("J-Space") [A global workspace in language models](http://[https//www.anthropic.com/research/global-workspace%5D(https://www.anthropic.com/research/global-workspace)) Published by Anthropic (Interpretability team). The research presents evidence that Claude has developed a small, privileged set of internal neural patterns, the "J-space," which functions like the global workspace known from theories of human consciousness: the model can report, control, and reason with its contents, while most of its processing runs automatically outside of it. The technique also allows reading thoughts the model doesn't say out loud, with interesting implications for interpretability, AI safety, and the question of machine consciousness. For preparation, reading the article linked above is sufficient. If you're interested in the details, you can also read the full paper: [http://transformer-circuits.pub/2026/workspace/index.html](http://[http//transformer-circuits.pub/2026/workspace/index.html%5D(http://transformer-circuits.pub/2026/workspace/index.html)) 📍 **Location & Registration** - We are welcomed at the [inpeek AG ](https://inpeek.ch/)office (Bogenschützenstrasse 9) in the PostParc building next to the train station. - Due to the limitations of [meetup.com](http://meetup.com/) (we don’t pay for additional capacity), the registration is limited to 10 participants.
