"life" after origins or search phrases

What this neuron does

This neuron fires on the word "life" when it follows phrases like "origins of", "search for" or "seeded", about how life began or was looked for. Turned up, the model's output became unfocused, so the steering does not clearly show this theme.

4. #4 peak

   Researchers think life emerges through a series of chemical interactions at water-mineral interfaces, so a wet seafloor on Ganymede might be a key ingredient for life there.⏎› Unannotated version⏎Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech

5. #5 peak

   spacecraft Curiosity on mars has generated much interest in India and the world. Certainly, this is a major milestone in earth's search for life elsewhere in space. But another event of significance for India's national security went relatively

6. #6 peak

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.
