Qwen3-0.6B

'the' after a time or place preposition

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 fires on the word 'the' when it follows a preposition about time or place, like 'at the same time', 'throughout the day', or 'from the start'. The effect is weak compared with the other neurons here. Steering produced unrelated text.

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).
