Qwen3-0.6B

the 'st' piece inside words

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 the 'st' piece in the middle of a word, most clearly in 'Mon-st-era' (the plant Monstera), and also in words like 'foodstuffs' and 'stomach'. Turning it up gave text with repeated words like 'pretty', and turning it down gave repeated 'EMH' and 'one's own', so the writing change does not clearly match 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).

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.
