Researchers have developed CHIVE, a novel agentic pipeline designed to identify and investigate unexpected behaviors in large language models (LLMs) using counterfactual prompt edits. This system generates thousands of explanations for naturally occurring model behaviors, supported by counterfactual evidence. Initial experiments revealed that common LLM interpretability techniques did not improve an agent's ability to predict counterfactual model behaviors. However, training models on CHIVE-generated counterfactual experiment data demonstrated generalization to various out-of-distribution settings, suggesting a new method for improving LLM explanation capabilities.
