"and" joining two actions

What this neuron does

This neuron fires on the word "and" when it links two actions or verbs, such as "the markets rallied, the press swooned, and" or "succumb and die." Turning it up did not produce any clear theme in the replies.

   leads to another classic hallmark of Alzheimer's, neurofibrillary tangle in nerve cells. After several decades of exposure to these insults, neurons ultimately succumb and die, leading to progressively damaged learning and memory centers in the brain.⏎The mice

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.
