"of" in "of use/concern/interest" phrases

What this neuron does

This neuron lights up on the word "of" in set phrases like "of interest", "of use" or "of concern", right after words like "be" or "are". When it was turned up, the model got stuck repeating words like "know", and when turned down it produced odd filler words like "reason" and "confidence".

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

   sort of computer that take advantage of aspects of quantum physics to solve certain sorts of problems dramatically faster than conventional computers can. While they will, no doubt, be of huge

2. #2 peak

   for individual and scientific applications. Often times, we need to use additional converters because different metric units are used. In this case, kilometers into meters calculator may be of use to you.⏎Converting long rivers:⏎- Nelson–Saskatchewan

3. #3 peak

4. #4 peak

   of time in which to contemplate one’s own unhappiness. The effect of the conformity demanded by society on the psychological health or spiritual wellbeing of its constituents is also of interest, especially to some of the oldest theorists in this school, the Transc

5. #5 peak

   A few studies of human populations have suggested that fluoride might be associated with alterations in reproductive hormones, fertility, and Down's syndrome, but their design limitations make them of little value for risk evaluation⏎- Assessing whether fluoride constitutes a risk factor for

6. #6 peak

   that we are likely to have in the coming decade, a debate about how we know the past and how we look at the written record that I suspect will be of interest to literary scholars and historians alike. It is a philosophical debate about idealism

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

   and Balances⏎The process of creating the Constitution was a real challenge. Everyone involved had concerns about how the government would be run and what person or group would have power. One person who heavily influenced the idea of checks and balances was the Baron

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.
