Qwen3-0.6B

'world' before a possessive 's

A neuron in layer 23 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

The neuron fires on the word 'world' when it is followed by an apostrophe s, as in 'the world's largest'. When turned up, the model wrote out endless 's' fragments.

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).
