"nothing/something to" before 'do' or 'be'

What this neuron does

Fires on the word "to" right after "nothing" or "anything" or "something", as in "nothing to do with" or "anything to be seen." Turning it up made the model write long, rambling text that did not clearly change theme.

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.

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.
