Qwen3-0.6B

punctuation after names and book titles

A neuron in layer 15 of Qwen3-0.6B. Its strongest snippets are fairly consistent: several of them peak on the same token. It is featured, so it has steering outputs.

What this neuron does

It fires on the comma or full stop that comes right after a person's name or a book title, mostly in book blurbs with praise quotes and in reference lists. Its strongest opposite is the full stop that closes a book title in a citation. Turning it up made the writing drift into unrelated topics.

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).

Fires most on

The text windows where this neuron's activation was highest. Amber marks positive activation; the outlined token is the peak. Hover a token for its strength.

Logit lens

The words this neuron nudges the model toward (amber) or away from (blue) when it fires. A hint, not a label: many neurons work through later layers instead.
