Qwen3-0.6B

'to' after surprised or glad

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' after a feeling or reaction word, such as 'surprised to', 'pleased to', 'glad to' or 'fascinating to', where a verb like 'see' or 'find' is expected next. It is pushing the model toward words about seeing and reading. When it was turned up, the model wrote loops of 'read' and 'see', which matches that job.

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).
