'either' before an 'or' choice

What this neuron does

The neuron fires on the word 'either' (and 'else' after 'or') when the sentence sets up a choice between two options. When turned up, the model wrote an 'either it's raining, or it's snowing' style line, so the link is visible there. Its strongest negative cases are the word 'and' linking a job title to a name.

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.
