slot right before a quantity

What this neuron does

This neuron becomes active on the empty spot just before a number, such as "the other 47 states" or "losing just 5 to 10 percent." It seems to expect a count or amount to come next. Its negative side appears on words like "fifth" and "percent." Steering changed the topic toward maths and numbers, but not consistently.

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.

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.
