Qwen3-0.6B

the after a verb or preposition

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 the word "the" when it comes right after a verb or preposition, at the point where a noun phrase is about to start. It is weaker, or turns negative, on "the" after "to" in some sentences. Steering did not produce a clear 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).
