Qwen3-0.6B

ages right before a number

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 spot right before an age or time number, like "between ages" or "at about" followed by a number of months or years. Its negative side fires on "at" in phrases like "at the time". Turned up, the model repeated "the first" and similar phrases.
