Qwen3-0.6B

'or' joining alternatives

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 the word 'or' when it links two options in a list, like 'race, sex, colour or creed'. Its strongest negative reactions come on 'and' in similar spots. Turning it up made the text stutter on 'and and and', which suggests it is tied to choosing between conjunctions.

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).

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.
