Qwen3-0.6B

"of" after an abstract noun

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 fires on the word "of" when it follows a noun like "style", "mode", "month" or "areas" and leads into a phrase such as "of life" or "of existence". Turning it up did not produce a clear, consistent change in the text.

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).
