Qwen3-0.6B

'of' after 'Department'

A neuron in layer 25 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 word 'of' when it follows 'Department', as in 'Department of Justice' or 'Department of Education'. Turning it down made the text drift into words like 'systems' and 'skills', and turning it up made it repeat words like 'few', so the steering does not show the same 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).
