# 1. Gemma Scope

Gemma Scope is a comprehensive, open suite of sparse autoencoders for Gemma 2 9B and 2B. Sparse Autoencoders are a "microscope" of sorts that can help us break down a model’s internal activations into the underlying concepts, just as biologists use microscopes to study the individual cells of plants and animals.

See our [landing page](https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-scope) for details on the whole suite. This is a specific set of SAEs:

# 2. What Is `gemma-scope-9b-pt-res`?

- `gemma-scope-`: See 1.
- `9b-pt-`: These SAEs were trained on Gemma v2 9B base model.
- `res`: These SAEs were trained on the model's residual stream.
- We include experimental SAEs trained on token embeddings in the ./embedding folder.
