Qwen3-0.6B

'mountain' before the word 'range'

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 lights up on the word 'mountain' when it comes right before 'range', as in 'Andes mountain range'. Its opposite side reacts to 'ranging' and 'range' used to mean a spread of values. Turning it up made the model write about 'interval' again and again, which is loosely related to ranges.

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).
