the spot just before a historical number

What this neuron does

This neuron lights up on the spot right before a number, especially a year, a century, or a count like '13th' or '250 aircraft', so the model is ready for a figure to come next. It is strongest in history-style text. When it was turned up, the writing drifted into unrelated topics rather than more dates, and when turned down the text filled with zeros. Its negative side fires on digits in the middle of a number.

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.

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.

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.
