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 lights up on the colon in clock times and dates, such as 10:, 01:32 or 8:19 PM. When it was turned up, the writing drifted into unrelated topics, so the steering results don't show a clear link to times.

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).
