Qwen3-0.6B

the 'res' start of words

A neuron in layer 26 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 syllable 'res' at the start of a word, as in resorted, resided, resampled and rescheduled. When turned up, the model fell into repeated filler words, so the steering adds little clear meaning.

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).
