Qwen3-0.6B

"of" after amounts of land

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 lights up on the word "of" when it comes right after an amount of land, like "acres of" or "tract of", and the next word is likely to be "land". When it was turned up, the model kept saying "land" over and over.

Written by Claude from this neuron's activations and steering outputs. Confidence: high. Think it is wrong? Flag it (opens a prefilled issue on GitHub).
