Dashboard & Navigation

Sidebar Navigation

The collapsible sidebar provides access to all pages. A persistent status bar at the top right shows the loaded model, SAE status, GPU metrics, and WebSocket connection state.

Page	Purpose
Dashboard	System overview, GPU metrics, quick start guide
Models	Download, load, unload, and manage LLMs
SAEs	Download, attach, and manage Sparse Autoencoders
Steering	Configure feature steering values
Probe	Real-time activation monitoring
Profiles	Save/load steering configurations
Settings	Theme, connection status, server info

Dashboard Overview

System Status

Four status cards show the current state at a glance:

Card	States
Model	LOADED (green, shows model name) or No Model warning
SAE	ATTACHED (green, shows layer) or NOT ATTACHED (yellow)
Steering	ACTIVE with feature count, or WAITING (attach SAE first)
Probe	LIVE when monitoring, or WAITING (attach SAE first)

System Metrics

Four real-time GPU metric cards below the status:

Metric	Format	Notes
GPU Utilization	Percentage (e.g., 24%)	100% = fully utilized
GPU Memory	Used/Total GB (e.g., 9.5/24.0 GB)	Watch for >90% before starting jobs
GPU Temperature	Degrees C (e.g., 64°C)	Green <70°C, Yellow 70–85°C, Red ≥85°C
CPU Usage	Percentage	System CPU load

Quick Start Guide

The dashboard includes a step-by-step Quick Start checklist:

1. Load a Model — Download and load from HuggingFace (green checkmark when complete)
2. Download & Attach SAE — Get an SAE and hook it to a model layer
3. Configure Steering — Add features and set strength values
4. Monitor Activations — Watch which features fire during inference

Steps unlock progressively — each step links directly to the relevant page.

Quick Actions

Four shortcut buttons provide direct access to:

• Manage Model → Models page
• Attach SAE → SAEs page
• Configure Steering → Steering page
• View Probe → Probe page

Top Status Bar

The persistent bar across the top right of every page shows:

• Model name (teal badge) or nothing if unloaded
• SAE status — No SAE badge if not attached
• GPU metrics — utilization %, memory, temperature (compact)
• Connection — Connected (green) or Disconnected (red)

Settings Page

The Settings page provides:

• Theme toggle — Switch between light and dark mode
• Connection status — WebSocket state and reconnect button
• Server information — API version, base paths, WebSocket endpoint
• Keyboard shortcuts reference
