Qwen3-0.6B

comma after 'that' or a verb before an aside

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 fires on a comma placed right after a word like 'that' or 'is', where a clause or aside is about to start, such as 'he tells her that, no, madame'. Turning it up produced rambling, repetitive text that does not clearly show this pattern.

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).
