'the' after 'like' or 'stay'

What this neuron does

This neuron tends to fire on the word 'the' when it comes after 'like' in comparisons, such as 'like the grocery store'. Its strongest negative cases involve 'and' between superlatives. Turning it up gave repetitive, wandering text.

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.

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.

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.
