Qwen3-0.6B

the period in 'St.' for Saint

A neuron in layer 2 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 full stop in the abbreviation 'St.' when it means Saint, as in St. Paul or St. Louis. Turning it up did not produce any clear change in topic.

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).
