What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Wait for stronger evidence

Why
Now the best-funded interpretability vendor ($1.25B valuation) with strong enterprise/scientific traction, but partner-gated access and open-model-centric coverage make it premature for direct adoption in our stack.
Next
Monitor Ember's expansion to broader/closed-model coverage and any self-serve tier; pilot the open-sourced SAEs on a Llama model in a sandbox before considering partner engagement.
