Qwen3-0.6B

'or' in alternative requirements

A neuron in layer 10 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 fires on the word 'or' when it joins two options that a rule or requirement allows, such as 'certification or passed exam' or 'pens or pencils'. Turning it up made the text drift into repeated lists of options and questions, not a clear theme.

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.
