Qwen3-0.6B

comma inside a list of names or acronyms

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 sits in the middle of a name or abbreviation, such as the comma in "Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics" or "reduce, reuse and recycle". Turning it up did not produce a clear theme in the writing.

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).
