Qwen3-0.6B

mixed, first-person 'I' suppressed

A neuron in layer 17 of Qwen3-0.6B. Its strongest snippets are mixed: they peak on different tokens. It is featured, so it has steering outputs.

What this neuron does

This neuron does not have one clear job. It fires weakly on words like 'of' or 'the' after a phrase, but its strongest negative values appear on the word 'I' in phrases like 'I hope' or 'I bring you good news'. Steering did not show a clear theme.

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

Steering

Push this neuron up or down while the model writes, and watch what changes. The outputs were generated ahead of time, so nothing runs in your browser.

How often this neuron fires at each strength. Almost always it does close to nothing (the tall bars in the middle); the snippets above are the rare moments it fired hard, amber for positive and blue for negative.
