Qwen3-0.6B

the letter t starting a word fragment

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

This neuron responds to a lone 't' that begins the first piece of a longer word, as in 'Settlor', 'trollhavre' or 'tubes'. Turning it up made the writing repeat words and phrases, so the effect is not easy to read from the output.

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).

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.
