Qwen3-0.6B

the 0 in decades like 1980s

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 final zero in a decade such as 1950s or 1980s, the part that says which decade is meant. Turning it up did not produce a clear theme in the replies.

Written by Claude from this neuron's activations and steering outputs. Confidence: medium. Think it is wrong? Flag it (opens an email to the maker with the neuron already filled in).

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.
