Qwen3-0.6B

'of' and 'reign' after a place or ruler

A neuron in layer 11 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 that link a name to a title or place, like 'of' in 'District of Columbia' or 'reign' after a ruler's name. Turning it up did not produce a clear theme in the text that followed.

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).

Prompt

Here is something I have been thinking about lately: the country of the question. What is the current status of the country's economy? What is the current status of the country's technology? The question is, which of the following countries has the most people who have voted to your country?

Most negative on

Where the activation went furthest below zero. Blue marks negative activation. Many neurons mean something different in each direction.

Activation histogram

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.
