Qwen3-0.6B

'and' in 'more and more' doubling

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 'and' in phrases like 'more and more' or 'better and better', where a word is repeated to show growth. Turning it up made the model's text fall into repeated word loops, though that may not be a clear sign of the pattern itself.

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).
