Qwen3-0.6B has 28 layers, each with 3,072 neurons. 27 of Qwen3-0.6B. Its strongest snippets are very consistent: they mostly peak on the same token. It is featuredA neuron picked for the full treatment: steering outputs and a written explanation. About 3,000 of the 86,000 neurons are featured., so it has steering outputs.
What this neuron does
This neuron responds to a separate 'r' at the start of a word that has been broken into pieces, such as 'ratiocinate', 'rangers' or 'rinds'. Turning it up made the writing wander and repeat phrases, so the output doesn't show a clear link to the trigger.
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).

SteeringAdding a push along a neuron while the model writes, to see how its output changes. Turning it up or down.
Push this neuron up or down while the model writes, and watch what changes. The outputs were generated ahead of time, so nothing runs in your browser.

Activation histogramA chart of how often a neuron takes each activation value.
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 lensReading which output tokens a neuron pushes toward or away from, straight off its output weights, before the later layers have their say.
