'about' or 'approximately' before a number

What this neuron does

This neuron lights up on the words 'about' and 'approximately' when they come right before a number or amount, like 'about 27%' or 'about 3,000'. Turning it down made the model repeat 'about' and 'approximately' over and over.

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.

   astronomy . Accreted matter is usually hydrogen rich. It forms the outer envelope of a neutron star, which contains a hydrogen burning shell, with an energy release of about 5 MeV/nucleon in a stable burning. Helium ashes

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.
