The project is in pre-alpha phase and states it is not affiliated with Lucid or OpenAI's Clarity team.

Key features

  • Renders feature visualizations for PyTorch models using optvis module
  • Provides modelzoo with pretrained Inceptionv1 for quickstart examples
  • Installs locally via pip install torch-lucent
  • Runs tutorial notebooks in Colab or local Jupyter
  • Includes recreations of original Lucid notebooks
  • Links recommended readings on interpretability and visualization
Best for: PyTorch users who want to work with Lucid-style neural network visualization code.
