comma in 'not X, but Y' contrasts

What this neuron does

This neuron lights up on the comma in sentences that set up a 'not this, but that' contrast, such as 'not just a vision of the future, but...'. It seems to be waiting for the second half of the contrast. Turning it up mostly made the writing wander and repeat, so the steering results do not show a clear theme.

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.

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.
