Qwen3-0.6B

commas after a clause or list item

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 responds to commas that come after a phrase in the middle of a sentence, right before the writer adds an extra thought such as 'however' or 'moths and butterflies'. When turned up, the model began listing repeated items and phrases, and when turned down it produced stuttering, tangled sentences.

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).
