Researchers have developed MicroLens, an interactive tool designed to analyze and modify the internal workings of language models. This tool utilizes two distinct lenses, the Logit Lens and the Jacobian Lens (J-Lens), to decode, trace, and edit the residual stream of these models. Experiments on Gemma-3-4B-it demonstrate that MicroLens can reveal how information is processed, showing that crucial information for trivia questions is present early in the model's layers but not always utilized in the final answer generation. The tool also highlights that correct answers for many question types are often predictable in the residual stream before the model generates its reasoning steps. AI
