CircRL

A small library of mech interp tools, primarily focused on interpreting RL policies (though most of the tools are general).

The library has three main components:

• Hooks: Tools for hooking into PyTorch models that provide simple, safe wrappers around PyTorch forward hooks functionality and allow easy caching, patching and arbitrary hook functions.
• Probing: Tools for training linear probes on model activations (or any other data), including sparse probes.
• Rollouts: Tools for running rollouts and collectiong various kinds of data through a unified interface.

Installation

CircRL is available on PyPI, and can be installed with pip:

pip install circrl

Usage

A detailed, self-contained demo of CircRL is available in the CircRL demo notebook.
