LogitLens4LLMs: Extending Logit Lens Analysis to Modern Large Language Models
read the original abstract
This paper introduces LogitLens4LLMs, a toolkit that extends the Logit Lens technique to modern large language models. While Logit Lens has been a crucial method for understanding internal representations of language models, it was previously limited to earlier model architectures. Our work overcomes the limitations of existing implementations, enabling the technique to be applied to state-of-the-art architectures (such as Qwen-2.5 and Llama-3.1) while automating key analytical workflows. By developing component-specific hooks to capture both attention mechanisms and MLP outputs, our implementation achieves full compatibility with the HuggingFace transformer library while maintaining low inference overhead. The toolkit provides both interactive exploration and batch processing capabilities, supporting large-scale layer-wise analyses. Through open-sourcing our implementation, we aim to facilitate deeper investigations into the internal mechanisms of large-scale language models. The toolkit is openly available at https://github.com/zhenyu-02/LogitLens4LLMs.

Understanding Performance Collapse in Layer-Pruned Large Language Models via Decision Representation Transitions
Performance collapse in layer-pruned LLMs stems from disrupting the Silent Phase of decision-making, which blocks the transition to correct predictions, while the later Decisive Phase is robust to pruning.

Instructions Shape Production of Language, not Processing
Instructions trigger a production-centered mechanism in language models, with task-specific information stable in input tokens but varying strongly in output tokens and correlating with behavior.

Instructions Shape Production of Language, not Processing
Instructions primarily shape the production stage of language models rather than the processing stage, with task-specific information and causal effects stronger in output tokens than input tokens.
