Qwen3-0.6B

'of' after a count or quantity

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 'of' when it follows a number or a quantity word, as in 'four of her five', 'eight of them' or 'how many of each'. Turning it up produced clumsy phrases like 'a few of the few', and turning it down produced loops of the word 'numbers'. The pattern in the text is clear even though the steered writing is odd.

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).
