'least' in 'at least' hedges

What this neuron does

Fires on the word 'least' when it follows 'at' in phrases like 'at least not yet' or 'or at least the elder males'. These are hedges that qualify a claim. Turning it up did not produce hedging in the writing, so the effect on output is unclear.

Fires most on

The text windows where this neuron's activation was highest. Amber marks positive activation; the outlined token is the peak. Hover a token for its strength.

   tool that writes your application - your code is a set of instructions to the compiler about what you want it to do. Since compilers aren't very creative (at least we hope) you have to be very precise, and the compiler tends to be

Steering

Push this neuron up or down while the model writes, and watch what changes. The outputs were generated ahead of time, so nothing runs in your browser.

Most negative on

Where the activation went furthest below zero. Blue marks negative activation. Many neurons mean something different in each direction.

Which neurons in earlier layers feed this one, and which later ones it feeds. Amber links excite, blue links suppress; longer bars are stronger.

Activation histogram

How often this neuron fires at each strength. Almost always it does close to nothing (the tall bars in the middle); the snippets above are the rare moments it fired hard, amber for positive and blue for negative.

Logit lens

The words this neuron nudges the model toward (amber) or away from (blue) when it fires. A hint, not a label: many neurons work through later layers instead.
