Qwen3-0.6B

"this" after a time phrase

A neuron in layer 19 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 "this" when it comes right after a time word and points to the present period, as in "released this year" or "this month". When turned up, the model's writing kept coming back to the word "year", which fits the same theme.

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).

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.
