Qwen3-0.6B

the letter l 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 fires on a separate 'l' at the start of a word that is split into pieces, like the 'l' in 'lathes', 'lilies' or 'lye'. Turning it up made the model repeat words such as 'prompt' and 'measure', which doesn't tell us much about 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).
