Qwen3-0.6B

the blank spot just 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 empty space right before a number, such as the gap after 'up to' or 'about' when a quantity comes next. Its steering results are messy and only loosely involve numbers.

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).
