Hi, I'm Max Loffgren.

I'm a CS student at Rice University and a Member Technical Staff Intern at Firecrawl. My research focuses on LLM faithfulness and mechanistic interpretability, measuring when chain-of-thought steps reflect what drives model outputs.

Research

Mechanistic Evidence for Faithfulness Decay in Chain-of-Thought Reasoning Introduces NLDD, a logit-space metric for CoT step faithfulness via counterfactual corruption. ICLR 2026 LIT Workshop. Code: NLDD-CoT.

Projects

Amazon Inventory Monitor Real-time restock monitor for high-demand Amazon products, async batch polling with transition alerts for restocks. ~350–750 ms restock-to-notification from us-east-1.

I'm based in San Francisco. You can find more on LinkedIn.
