Qwen3-0.6B

colon in clock times

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 colon in clock times like '12:00' or '10:30 a.m.', which shows up in event listings and schedules. Turning it down made the model repeat the word 'five' over and over, so the neuron seems to have something to do with numbers.

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).
