claim:existing-intervention-libraries-are-often-project-based-lack-extensibility-are-hard-to-maintain-and-share-and-are-limited-to-single-or-non-nested-interventions-on-transformersExisting intervention libraries are often project-based, lack extensibility, are hard to maintain and share, and are limited to single or non-nested interventions on Transformers
Motivation claim contrasting pyvene with prior tools like BauKit, TransformerLens, nnsight, graphpatch
