Qwen3-0.6B

'long' in 'in the long run'

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 "long" in the set phrase "in the long run" or "in the long term". When turned up, the model kept repeating "long term term", so it clearly pushes the model toward that phrase.

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).
