Qwen3-0.6B

"well" before known or documented

A neuron in layer 18 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

The neuron fires on the word "well" when it comes before words like "known", "documented" or "studied", as in "well-known" or "well documented". It hardly reacts to anything else. Turning it up or down gave unrelated text, so the steering does not show what it does.

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