Stanford NLP Python library for benchmarking the utility of LLM interpretability methods

54
/ 100
Established

This is a benchmarking library designed for AI researchers and practitioners who are developing or evaluating methods to understand and control large language models (LLMs). It helps you assess how well your interpretability techniques can detect specific concepts within an LLM's internal workings and how effectively they can steer the model's behavior. You provide concept lists and your interpretability method, and it outputs performance metrics for concept detection and model steering.

175 stars.

Use this if you are developing or rigorously testing new methods to interpret or steer the behavior of large language models.

Not ideal if you are an end-user simply looking to apply an existing interpretability tool to understand a specific LLM output without benchmarking new techniques.
