Qwen3-0.6B

opening parenthesis before an acronym

A neuron in layer 24 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 open bracket '(' that comes right before a short abbreviation, like the '(ATC)' in 'acute traumatic coagulopathy (ATC)'. Its turned-down side is weak and hard to read, and the steering outputs did not clearly show this theme.

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).
