Description

Hi @LGirrbach ,

Thanks for the work and the code release. I built an unofficial Python package inspired by the paper and this repository: SAETopic. It exposes SAE topic atoms through a package-oriented interface, with an API style inspired by BERTopic for fitting, topic inspection, save/load, and changing topic granularity without retraining.

I’m sharing it here in case it is useful to others experimenting with SAE-TM, and I’d be happy to adjust attribution or wording if you prefer.

Thanks again.
