Qwen3-0.6B

pieces of split scientific or place names

A neuron in layer 25 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

This neuron fires on the middle chunks of split names, especially Latin species names like 'Dios-py-ros' or 'Ps-amm-omys' and place names like 'To-hoku'. Turning it up made the model produce unrelated text, so the species link is only visible in the examples.

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).

Fires most on

The text windows where this neuron's activation was highest. Amber marks positive activation; the outlined token is the peak. Hover a token for its strength.
