Dynamic head pruning in Vision Transformers (ViTs) improves efficiency by removing redundant attention heads, but existing pruning policies are often difficult to interpret and control. In this work, we propose a novel framework by integrating Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs) with dynamic pruning, leveraging their ability to disentangle dense embeddings into interpretable and controllable sparse latents. Specifically, we train an SAE on the final-layer residual embedding of the ViT and amplify the sparse latents with different strategies to alter pruning decisions. Among them, per-class steering reveals compact, class-specific head subsets that preserve accuracy. For example, bowl improves accuracy (76%→82%) while reducing head usage (0.72→0.33) via heads h2 and h5. These results show that sparse latent features enable class-specific control of dynamic pruning, effectively bridging pruning efficiency and mechanistic interpretability in ViTs.
