sports leagues and team names

What this neuron does

This neuron lights up on sports words, especially league and team names like NFL, NBA, Negro League and baseball. It turns off on soccer-style words like 'corner' and 'the goal'. Turning it up did not produce any sports text, so the link is only in the reading of text.

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.
