Qwen3-0.6B

unclear: amounts, limits and 'right' answers

A neuron in layer 11 of Qwen3-0.6B. Its strongest snippets are mixed: they peak on different tokens. It is featured, so it has steering outputs.

What this neuron does

The pattern here is hard to pin down. It fires on words that come after a limit or amount, such as 'more than two hours' or 'a few hours', and it goes quiet or negative on phrases like 'no right number' or 'how much is right'. When it was turned down, the model kept coming back to the word 'number'.

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