Qwen3-0.6B

end of a short definition or claim

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 lights up at the full stop or line break that closes a short statement, especially a dictionary-style definition or a bulleted fact, just before a new item starts. Turning it up made the replies repeat or wander, so it does not tell us much more.

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).

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.

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.
