the digit zero in numbers

What this neuron does

This neuron responds to the digit 0 inside numbers, especially in phone numbers like 1-800, in list numbers like 10, and in years like 1990s. It is strongest on that zero and weakest or negative on the zeros in some other numeric spots. Turning it up pushed the model toward unrelated number-heavy and odd text.

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.
