Are there any other mechanistic interpretability mentorship programs I should apply for in addition to MATS and the Anthropic Fellows Program? I think I know enough about the field and I'm semi-competant at ML but need more legible output and a network.

There's a lot, off the top of my head: LASR, MARS, Pivotal, SPAR

Thanks! I had never heard of Pivotal but some of their mentors are working on really interesting projects.

Looks like I need to apply for all of these a little earlier next round though.
