Qwen3-0.6B

commas inside lists and names

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 lights up on the comma in the middle of a list or a multi-part name, such as 'Science, Technology' or 'physical, mental', right where another item in the series is expected. It goes quiet, and slightly negative, on 'and' that joins just two things. When it was turned up, the model tended to write long strings of parallel items like 'parent, grandparent, uncle, aunt'.

Written by Claude from this neuron's activations and steering outputs. Confidence: high. Think it is wrong? Flag it (opens a prefilled issue on GitHub).
