Qwen3-0.6B

'on' in 'on their own' phrasing

A neuron in layer 21 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 'on' in phrases like 'go away on their own' or 'on its own'. Turning it up made the model repeat 'its own' and 'my own', which matches the trigger, while turning it down made it repeat numbers and digits.

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).

Here is something I have been thinking about lately: I have been going to the town government and I have been getting so much support for the community. I can see clearly how likely a single government system will be to be used when the government is too likely to be seen as being too like

Most negative on

Where the activation went furthest below zero. Blue marks negative activation. Many neurons mean something different in each direction.
