'so' in 'and so on'

What this neuron does

This neuron fires on the word 'so' in phrases like 'and so on' or 'and so were'. Pushing it up made the model repeat the word 'then' over and over, because the neuron tends to push that word forward. Its negative side is on sentence starts like 'Now' and 'Then' that begin a new step.

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

   chemical reaction and so can be reused.⏎- Enzymes are proteins and so are sensitive to temperature

2. #2 peak

   Cold War. That was before scientists knew about the oceans on moons around other planets, before they knew about how tough microorganisms get here on Earth (and so maybe in space too?), before they started planning experiments to look for life on Mars

3. #3 peak

   in terms of safety, reliability, performance, profitability, and credibility for the affected organization and its representatives.⏎There are standards for quality, safety, reliability, and so on, in industries related to food, drugs, military equipment, manufacturing, computer

5. #5 peak

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.
