Qwen3-0.6B

single letters starting names

A neuron in layer 24 of Qwen3-0.6B. Its strongest snippets are mixed: they peak on different tokens. It is featured, so it has steering outputs.

What this neuron does

It fires on a lone letter, often a capital S or I, that starts a proper name or word, such as 'Ithaca', 'Sardinia' or 'Anglo-Saxons'. Its negative side fires on capital S in names too. Steering shows no clear theme, only some repeated 'first' wording.

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).

Push this neuron up or down while the model writes, and watch what changes. The outputs were generated ahead of time, so nothing runs in your browser.

Here is something I have been thinking about lately: the fact that a single individual with a single bit of information has the power to design an entire design to something he must design something. But this design must be something that he design to something he must design something, which must be something that
