Qwen3-0.6B

"still" or "as long as" meaning continuing

A neuron in layer 13 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 words like "still", "while" and "as long as" when they mean something is going on during a period of time, such as "repeat as long as you still have paper". Turning it up made the model's text drift into unrelated story-like sentences, so the steering did not show the same theme.

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).
