"the" after "percent of" or "a lot of"

What this neuron does

This neuron fires on the word "the" in phrases like "30 percent of the", "a lot of the" or "all the", where a quantity is followed by "the" and a noun. Its negative side shows up on parts of the word "alpine" and "Alpine", which is a different pattern. Turning it up did not produce a clear change in the model's writing.

   Mediterranean’s fish and mollusk species can be found. Nevertheless, these too are threatened by fishing, which sometimes uses illegal methods. Almost 30 percent of the world’s fish species are either extinct or facing extinction.⏎Visit the YAB Gallery

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.

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.
