OpenAIBox — LLM dimension analysis tool, potential integration with AI-Researcher #96

Description

@Tryboy869

Hi HKUDS team, congrats on the NeurIPS 2025 Spotlight!

I'm Daouda Abdoul Anzize, creator of OpenAIBox — a tool that maps the semantic role of each hidden dimension in any LLM via PyTorch forward hook tracing.

Why this is relevant to AI-Researcher

AI-Researcher generates novel hypotheses autonomously. OpenAIBox can help validate those hypotheses at the mechanistic level by showing which model dimensions are activated during specific reasoning tasks.

Example: if AI-Researcher generates the hypothesis "this model struggles with temporal reasoning", OpenAIBox can verify whether the temporality dimensions (low separability = 0.992 in SmolLM) are indeed poorly specialized.

What OpenAIBox produces

pip install openaibox

from openaibox import OpenAIBox
gr = OpenAIBox("HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM-360M")
gr.discover().map_dimensions().export("graph.json")
gr.print_summary()

Output example:

dim_696  →  syntax, causality, certainty, abstraction, time, emotion  (score=1.0)
dim_295  →  causality + temporality (pure specialist)
Injection points: INPUT → MEMORY → DECISION → OUTPUT

Potential collaboration

OpenAIBox produces the mechanistic map. AI-Researcher generates the hypotheses. Together: hypothesis generation + mechanistic validation in a single pipeline.

Happy to discuss how both tools could work together. Open to co-authorship.
