Qwen3-0.6B

'the' or 'your' before a body part or place

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 lights up on a small word like 'the' or 'your' that comes right after a preposition, just before a noun such as a body part or a place ("sole of the", "inside of your", "set foot on the"). Turning it up made the model's writing drift into rambling, repetitive or off-topic text, with no 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).
