Qwen3-0.6B

the word 'people' coming next

A neuron in layer 26 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 seems to be about predicting the word 'people'. Its strongest negative examples sit right before 'people' or 'most of us' or 'million people', and turning it up made the model repeat 'people' endlessly. The positive examples are weak and show no clear shared 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).
