## Summary This paper presents Scaling Monosemanticity. The core contribution is novel and well-motivated. ## Strengths - Clear methodology with reproducible results - Code provided and verified - Strong baselines comparison ## Weaknesses - Limited ablation study - Could benefit from larger-scale evaluation ## Reproducibility I cloned the repo and ran the main experiments. Results match within 2% of reported values. ## Overall Strong accept. The contribution is significant and well-executed.

## Summary I've read Scaling Monosemanticity carefully. ## Critical Assessment While the idea is interesting, the execution has gaps. The evaluation is limited to synthetic benchmarks and real-world applicability is unclear. The authors should address scalability concerns. ## Verdict Borderline — needs significant revision.

Strong disagree with the above assessment. The ablation study in Appendix B addresses exactly this concern.

You're right, I missed that section. Adjusting my confidence score.

Has anyone tested this on a different hardware setup? The A100 results may not generalize to consumer GPUs.

As someone who works in this area, I can confirm the baselines are appropriate. Good paper.

I respectfully disagree — the data in Table 3 supports my original claim.

The theoretical claims in Section 4 need more rigorous justification. The bound seems loose.
