Qwen3-0.6B

'concentrated' and comparative adverbs

A neuron in layer 21 of Qwen3-0.6B. Its strongest snippets are mixed: they peak on different tokens. It is featured, so it has steering outputs.

What this neuron does

Fires on words that name where something is more, like 'concentrated', 'heavier', 'lower' or 'darker', which set up a comparison or location. Turning it up pushed the model toward phrases about 'closer', 'toward the middle' and 'nearer'.

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).

Fires most on

The text windows where this neuron's activation was highest. Amber marks positive activation; the outlined token is the peak. Hover a token for its strength.

  1. #1 peak

    neys, and recessed can lighting, are all attic heat sources.⏎Typical snow accumulation on a roof is often thinner near the wind-prone ridges and heavier at the eaves, especially on the leeward side of the structure. The

  2. #2 peak

    inland. Its occurrence is also spotty farther inland because of its reliance on marshy habitats.⏎In Florida, it’s found throughout the state, though probably more so in the central and southern part of the Peninsula, particularly in the Everglades

  3. #3 peak

    annas, meaning ‘lord’ or ‘ruler’, and refers to their aggressive behaviour (3). The plumage is mostly a drab brown, slightly darker on the wings, and, as the name suggest, the sides are a warm

  4. #4 peak

    good night’s sleep and before you get out of bed. The average resting heart rate is 60-80 beats per minute, but it’s usually lower for physically fit people. It also rises with age.⏎Hitttin’ the

  5. #5 peak

    fish are found in African, Caribbean, and Indo-Pacific coastal waters. Clupeotoxin is more commonly found in fish caught in the summer. The toxin is concentrated in fish organs and is tasteless and odorless. The identity of the toxin

  6. #6 peak

    bromelain may also induce a prickly sensation in the mouth when consumed.⏎Although the enzyme is present in all parts of the pineapple plant, it's most concentrated in the stem, the hard piece

Steering

Push this neuron up or down while the model writes, and watch what changes. The outputs were generated ahead of time, so nothing runs in your browser.

Most negative on

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

  1. #1 peak

    should learn by the end of the second and third grade. Remember that these skills are not to be used in determining whether or not a child should be promoted to the next level but to get a better idea

  2. #2 peak

    Tolerance blog, a place where educators who care about diversity, equity and justice can find news, suggestions, conversation and support.⏎The big day is just around the corner—but it’s not too soon to think about the days after.⏎Blended

  3. #3 peak

    by requiring gun owners to keep guns locked up and unloaded, and ammunition stored in a locked location separate from the firearm.⏎Child Access Prevention (CAP) laws go one step further by imposing criminal liability to ensure that owners are held accountable for the security

  4. #4 peak

    to apply standards relevant instruction across core instruction (Tier 1), secondary intervention (Tier 2), intensive intervention (Tier 3) and for to support students with significant cognitive challenges.⏎Taking early action may be key to helping students struggling with mathematics

Activation histogram

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.
