Qwen3-0.6B

towns and population nouns

A neuron in layer 10 of Qwen3-0.6B. Its strongest snippets are fairly consistent: several of them peak on the same token. It is featured, so it has steering outputs.

What this neuron does

This neuron fires on words for a place or its people, like 'town', 'world' and 'population', mostly in descriptions of towns and census-style facts. When it was turned up, the replies were unrelated, so the steering does not confirm the pattern.

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.
