opening parenthesis after a sentence

What this neuron does

This neuron reacts to an opening bracket that starts a side note right after a finished sentence, such as a source credit or an explanation. When it is pushed negative, it reacts to the word 'And' that starts a new sentence instead. Steering changed the story in ways that do not clearly follow this pattern.

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.

6. #6 peak

   Another case is where we need to authenticate some data, i.e. produce a kind of integrity check that only a party with a given private key could produce. (In this case, the general solution is to combine a hash code with encryption.)⏎

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.

   and, later, to ensure a multiplicity of routes such that the system could survive a nuclear attack. It was not to keep the system’s data safe. And as ARPANET gave way to the purely academic world of the early internet,

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

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.
