Qwen3-0.6B

'after' starting a time or cause clause

A neuron in layer 14 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 reacts most to the word 'after' when it introduces a clause about something that happened following another event, like 'diagnosed after 12 months'. Turning it up gave rambling text that did not clearly show this pattern.

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.
