One signal

TorchLens is an open-source diagnostic tool for inspecting and visualising neural networks, with a focus on PyTorch. Its project description says one trace function can log intermediate activations, gradients and metadata, and support ablation experiments and activation patching without custom forward hooks.

That gives developers a practical way to investigate what a model is doing inside, without first building their own instrumentation. The project’s GitHub page describes the tool; how well it works across different models and workflows is for users to establish.

Discuss: Would you trust a single tracing tool for model experiments, or do you prefer building your own hooks so you control exactly what gets recorded?
