Qwen3-0.6B

'to' after words needing an infinitive

A neuron in layer 22 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 'to' when it follows a word that needs a following action, like 'intent to', 'in order to', 'sufficient to' or 'required to'. Turning it up did not produce a clear theme in the sample text.

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).
