Qwen3-0.6B

words that signal persistence (still, retains, continue to)

A neuron in layer 11 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 words that say something carries on or stays the same, like 'still', 'continue to', or 'retains its'. Turning it up made the model's text drift into unrelated, rambling sentences, so the steering results don't show 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.
