Qwen3-0.6B

opening parenthesis before an acronym

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 opening bracket that comes right after a full name, just before its short form, like the "(" in "Multi Stage Flash (MSF)". Turning it up made the text wander into unrelated topics, so the steering results don't clearly show this pattern.

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).
