Qwen3-0.6B

hyphen joining compound words

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 a hyphen that links words into one compound, like 'mini-satellites', '16-lead' or 'tick-removing'. Turning it down made the model spit out long runs of hyphens, so this neuron is clearly tied to the hyphen mark.

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).
