Qwen3-0.6B

"issue" in journal publication phrases

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 lights up on the word "issue" when it refers to a journal edition, as in "the current issue of" or "the May issue of". Turning it up did not make the model's writing visibly focus on journals or publications.

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).
