Qwen3-0.6B

'or' / 'and' after a threshold

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 responds to the small word 'or' or 'and' that comes right after a number or limit, as in '200 or more' or 'aged 60 or older'. Turning it up did not produce any clear change in theme, so the link to the trigger is only from the examples.

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).

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.
