It provides a declarative, dict-based framework for activation patching, causal tracing, and interchange intervention training - making intervention experiments reproducible and shareable.\n\n**GitHub**: [stanfordnlp/pyvene](https://github.com/stanfordnlp/pyvene) (840+ stars)\n**Paper**: [pyvene: A Library for Understanding and Improving PyTorch Models via Interventions](https://aclanthology.org/2024.naacl-demo.16) (NAACL 2024)\n\n## When to Use pyvene\n\n**Use pyvene when you need to:**\n- Perform causal tracing (ROME-style localization)\n- Run activation patching experiments\n- Conduct interchange intervention training (IIT)\n- Test causal hypotheses about model components\n- Share/reproduce intervention experiments via HuggingFace\n- Work with any PyTorch architecture (not just transformers)\n\n**Consider alternatives when:**\n- You need exploratory activation analysis → Use **TransformerLens**\n- You want to train/analyze SAEs → Use **SAELens**\n- You need remote execution on massive models → Use **nnsight**\n- You want lower-level control → Use **nnsight**\n\n## Installation\n\n```bash\npip install pyvene\n```\n\nStandard import:\n```python\nimport pyvene as pv\n```\n\n## Core Concepts\n\n### IntervenableModel\n\nThe main class that wraps any PyTorch model with intervention capabilities:\n\n```python\nimport pyvene as pv\nfrom transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer\n\n# Load base model\nmodel = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(\"gpt2\")\ntokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(\"gpt2\")\n\n# Define intervention configuration\nconfig = pv.IntervenableConfig(\n    representations=[\n        pv.RepresentationConfig(\n            layer=8,\n            component=\"block_output\",\n            intervention_type=pv.VanillaIntervention,\n        )\n    ]\n)\n\n# Create intervenable model\nintervenable = pv.IntervenableModel(config, model)\n```\n\n### Intervention Types\n\n| Type | Description | Use Case |\n|------|-------------|----------|\n| `VanillaIntervention` | Swap activations between runs | Activation patching |\n| `AdditionIntervention` | Add activations to base run | Steering, ablation |\n| `SubtractionIntervention` | Subtract activations | Ablation |\n| `ZeroIntervention` | Zero out activations | Component knockout |\n| `RotatedSpaceIntervention` | DAS trainable intervention | Causal discovery |\n| `CollectIntervention` | Collect activations | Probing, analysis |\n\n### Component Targets\n\n```python\n# Available components to intervene on\ncomponents = [\n    \"block_input\",      # Input to transformer block\n    \"block_output\",     # Output of transformer block\n    \"mlp_input\",        # Input to MLP\n    \"mlp_output\",       # Output of MLP\n    \"mlp_activation\",   # MLP hidden activations\n    \"attention_input\",  # Input to attention\n    \"attention_output\", # Output of attention\n    \"attention_value_output\",  # Attention value vectors\n    \"query_output\",     # Query vectors\n    \"key_output\",       # Key vectors\n    \"value_output\",     # Value vectors\n    \"head_attention_value_output\",  # Per-head values\n]\n```\n\n## Workflow 1: Causal Tracing (ROME-style)\n\nLocate where factual associations are stored by corrupting inputs and restoring activations.\n\n### Step-by-Step\n\n```python\nimport pyvene as pv\nfrom transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer\nimport torch\n\nmodel = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(\"gpt2-xl\")\ntokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(\"gpt2-xl\")\n\n# 1.
