Qwen3-0.6B

word before an evaluative adjective in essays

A neuron in layer 14 of Qwen3-0.6B. Its strongest snippets are mixed: they peak on different tokens. It is featured, so it has steering outputs.

What this neuron does

It fires on the word just before a judgement word in generic, polished essay writing, such as 'crucial', 'significant', 'pressing' or 'extended'. Turning it up made the model produce loops of 'from' and 'and', and turning it down produced nonsense words.

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).

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.
