Qwen3-0.6B

unclear: spaces in mixed-language text

A neuron in layer 27 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

The pattern is hard to pin down. The strongest moments come in messy multilingual pages, such as dictionary entries, glossaries, and web boilerplate, at a point where a new chunk of text starts. When turned down, the model wrote long runs of blank lines, so the neuron seems tied to whitespace and line breaks in some way.

Written by Claude from this neuron's activations and steering outputs. Confidence: low. 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.

Here is something I have been thinking about lately:

Most negative on

Where the activation went furthest below zero. Blue marks negative activation. Many neurons mean something different in each direction.

How often this neuron fires at each strength. Almost always it does close to nothing (the tall bars in the middle); the snippets above are the rare moments it fired hard, amber for positive and blue for negative.

Logit lens

The words this neuron nudges the model toward (amber) or away from (blue) when it fires. A hint, not a label: many neurons work through later layers instead.
