Qwen3-0.6B

commas inside long lists

A neuron in layer 12 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 the comma or separator between items in a long list, such as a run of numbers, countries, or vegetables. Its strongest reactions are at the list separators, and turning it up did not make the model write lists, so this is a weak result.

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).

Fires most on

The text windows where this neuron's activation was highest. Amber marks positive activation; the outlined token is the peak. Hover a token for its strength.

Steering

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.

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.
