Qwen3-0.6B

'there' after a because or if clause

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 'there' when it starts a clause after words like 'as', 'so' or 'even when', as in 'as there is no force'. Turning it up made the model repeat 'there' over and over, so the link to that word is clear.

Written by Claude from this neuron's activations and steering outputs. Confidence: high. Think it is wrong? Flag it (opens a prefilled issue on GitHub).

Steering

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.
