Qwen3-0.6B

the verb 'keep' meaning maintain

A neuron in layer 17 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 word 'keep' (or 'keeps', 'keeping') when it means holding something in a good state, like keeping food cool or tyres inflated. It switches off hard on 'go' or 'gone', and turning it up made the model's text wander without a clear theme.

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).
