comma before 'however'
A neuronOne of thousands of tiny dials inside each layer. It reads the text so far and produces a number, its activation, that nudges what the model writes next. in layerOne step in the stack the text passes through. Qwen3-0.6B has 28 layers, each with 3,072 neurons. 19 of Qwen3-0.6B. Its strongest snippets are very consistent: they mostly peak on the same token. It is featuredA neuron picked for the full treatment: steering outputs and a written explanation. About 3,000 of the 86,000 neurons are featured., so it has steering outputs.
What this neuron does
This neuron fires on the comma right before 'however' in sentences like 'It does, however, tolerate...'. Turning it up made the model keep writing the word 'however' again and again.
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).

Activation histogramA chart of how often a neuron takes each activation value.
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.
Logit lensReading which output tokens a neuron pushes toward or away from, straight off its output weights, before the later layers have their say.
The words this neuron nudges the model toward (amber) or away from (blue) when it fires. A hint, not a label: many neurons work through later layersOne step in the stack the text passes through. Qwen3-0.6B has 28 layers, each with 3,072 neurons. instead.
