Qwen3-0.6B

quantity words like 'some' and 'of'

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

This neuron fires on small words that introduce an amount, such as 'some', 'of', 'than' or 'and' right before a number or a count. Turning it up made the model start writing about numbers and counting problems.

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.
