Qwen3-0.6B

comma after an introductory phrase

A neuron in layer 16 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 a comma that comes after a short opening phrase, like 'To do this,' or 'Using both human cells and mouse cells,', right before the main sentence in science and news writing. Turning it up gave off-topic rambling, so the steering does not 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).
