This directory contains both legacy experiments (complex, full-featured) and simplified experiments (clean, modular) using the debug framework.
# Run a single experiment
./run_experiments.sh range
# Run with specific models
./run_experiments.sh boolean -m "Qwen/Qwen3-0.6B" -n 100
# Run all experiments
./run_experiments.sh all -o my_resultsBuilt using the modular debug framework - clean, maintainable, and easy to extend:
_02_entity_tracking_simple.py- Entity tracking with random +/- operations_04_boolean_simple.py- Boolean logic with and/or/not operations_05_range_tracking_simple.py- Range tracking with fixed increments_03_counterfactual_simple.py- Counterfactual pair collectionrun_experiments.sh- Unified runner script_06_code_tracking.py- Interactive notebook for custom experiments
Original complex implementations - kept for comparison and advanced features:
_02_opensource_entity_tracking.py- Full entity tracking (466 lines)_04_boolean_experiment.py- Full boolean experiment (637 lines)_05_range_tracking.py- Full range tracking (305 lines)_03_collect_correct_pairs.py- Original counterfactual collection- Various shell scripts:
_02_run_*.sh,_04_run_*.sh,_05_run_*.sh
results/- Experiment output directory*.png- Visualization outputs_.py- Small test file
Tests arithmetic sequence understanding:
x = 0
for i in range(5):
x += 3
# Expected: 15Tests variable tracking through random operations:
x = 0
x += 5
x -= 2
x += 1
# Expected: 4Tests logical reasoning:
x = True
y = False
x = x and y
x = not x
# Expected: TrueGenerates program pairs that diverge but both should be solvable:
# Program A # Program B
x = 0 x = 0
x += 5 x += 5
x -= 2 x *= 2 # <- divergence
x += 1 x += 1
# Result: 4 # Result: 11All simplified experiments use the debug framework's standard output:
results.json- Detailed results for each test casesummary.json- Aggregated statistics- Automatic plotting - Accuracy vs sequence length
- Error analysis - Common failure patterns
The simplified experiments offer:
Lines of Code Reduction:
- Entity tracking: 466 → 71 lines (85% reduction)
- Boolean logic: 637 → 77 lines (88% reduction)
- Range tracking: 305 → 67 lines (78% reduction)
- Counterfactual: 165 → 95 lines (42% reduction)
Features:
- ✅ Automatic model loading and cleanup
- ✅ Model caching for interactive use (load once, reuse many times)
- ✅ Built-in plotting and analysis
- ✅ Consistent result format
- ✅ Error handling and retries
- ✅ Progress tracking
- ✅ Configurable via CLI or code
Use the interactive notebook or create a simple script:
from debug import quick_experiment, ExperimentRunner, generators, prompts
config = quick_experiment(
name="my_experiment",
prompt_template=prompts.RANGE_TRACKING,
program_generator=generators.make_range_program,
models=["Qwen/Qwen3-0.6B"],
num_seqs=50,
seq_lens=[2, 3, 4, 5]
)
runner = ExperimentRunner()
# For interactive use, preload models to avoid reloading
runner.preload_models(["Qwen/Qwen3-0.6B"])
result = runner.run(config) # Uses cached model!
runner.plot("my_experiment")For complex scenarios, you can still use the legacy experiments or extend the framework:
# Legacy experiments (if you need specific features)
python _02_opensource_entity_tracking.py --output-dir results/legacy --num-seqs 100
# Custom interactive experiments
jupyter notebook _06_code_tracking.pyRecommendation: Start with the simplified experiments. They cover 95% of use cases with 10x less code! 🎉
