Qwen3-0.6B

'just' meaning barely or recently

A neuron in layer 20 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 'just' when it means 'barely', 'only a moment ago' or 'recently', as in 'could just make out' or 'just last month'. Turning it up did not produce any clear change in theme.

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).

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.
