Qwen3-0.6B

"and" joining two nouns

A neuron in layer 0 of Qwen3-0.6B. Its strongest snippets are very consistent: they mostly peak on the same token. It is featured, so it has steering outputs.

What this neuron does

This neuron lights up on the word "and" when it links two nouns or short noun phrases in a list, like "Theory Design and Implementation" or "Gender Equality and Food Rights". When it was turned up, the model's writing drifted into repetitive or unrelated text, so the steering results don't show a clear effect.

Written by Claude from this neuron's activations and steering outputs. Confidence: medium. Think it is wrong? Flag it (opens a prefilled issue on GitHub).

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.
