'and' before a second verb phrase

What this neuron does

This neuron fires on "and" when it links a finished phrase to a new verb, as in "X is measured, and is...". When it was pushed down, the model repeated the word "because", and when pushed up it produced lists of "and".

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.

1. #1 peak

   is to drive with a BAC of .08 percent.⏎Blood alcohol concentration, or BAC, describes the amount of alcohol contained in an individual’s blood and is measured as weight per unit of volume. The measurement is usually

2. #2 peak

   but your systolic pressure has lowered. This condition is referred to as systolic hypotension and is mainly defined by signs and symptoms, rather than a specific blood pressure reading.⏎

3. #3 peak

   ís Treaty between the United States and Spain was negotiated by Secretary of State John Quincy Adams and the Spanish Minister to the United States, Don Luis de Onís, and signed in February 1819. The principal elements in the treaty were

4. #4 peak

   shoulder injuries. While physiotherapy is recommended in all of these cases, other types of rehabilitation may be needed as well. Neurological disorders involve the nervous system and may cause paralysis to a part of the body. Examples are stroke, Alzheimer’s

5. #5 peak

   if you are making plans.⏎There are spring parades that occur some three weeks before Easter. These are called Sommertagszug (Summer Day Parade) and are basically a time when people tell winter that it’s time to leave.⏎Also

6. #6 peak

   used for a myriad of symptoms affecting your ability to think. Brain fog can include things like memory problems, lack of mental clarity, and an inability to focus, and put thoughts into words. Some people describe it as mental fatigue.⏎You know –

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.

1. #1 peak

   be auctioned, given up to an animal rescue group, or put to sleep.⏎Compared to other states’ cruelty laws, Texas animal cruelty laws are unique in a couple of ways. First, Texas criminal cruelty laws only apply to domesticated

2. #2 peak

   man of the people.” It’s even odder that he’s accused of being a “leftist.” In fact, he’s

3. #3 peak

   ’ stumbled upon one of the world’s oldest wrecks. At nearly 3,000 years old, this Bronze Age find is particularly significant, not just because it predates the birth of Christ by a millennium, but because in addition

4. #4 peak

   Anopheles females lay about 50 to 200 eggs. Eggs are laid directly on water and are unique in having floats on either side. These eggs are not resistant to drying and hatch within

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.
