Steering-first neuron explorer for Qwen3.5-4B. Every MLP neuron in a layer is pushed up and down on a few prompts, every rollout is kept, and the explorer lays the results out over a 3D view of the model. Reads sweep runs from runs/ and per-layer stats from stats/, both produced by the sweep below; the caches in explorer/cache/ ship with the repo. Loads Qwen3.5-4B locally (MPS, CUDA or CPU) for live steered chat, lens, connections and live inference over your own text. The R and J++ lens rows read the maps of bubskee/qwen3.5-4b-r-jpp-lenses (Apache-2.0): steer lens and R lens; click opens it; click a layer's label to view its sheet face-on. writes places neurons with similar down-projection columns next to each other. lenses for a token, fires runs your text through the model and filters neurons by activation. connections, a name, and where it fires on web text: its strongest…
