Qwen3-0.6B

unclear: sentence ends in web articles

A neuron in layer 12 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 fires on the full stop or line break that closes a sentence in ordinary web text, such as encyclopedia or health articles. The pattern is loose and the snippets do not share a clear topic, and turning it up did not produce an obvious change in the story the model wrote.

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).

Push this neuron up or down while the model writes, and watch what changes. The outputs were generated ahead of time, so nothing runs in your browser.
