Qwen3-0.6B

the word 'well' before -known

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 'well' when it is followed by 'known' or a similar phrase like 'well-known'. Turning it up made the model repeat 'well known' and 'I know' 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).
