Qwen3-0.6B

parenthesis introducing an acronym

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 opening bracket that comes right after a spelled-out term, just before its short form, such as 'Positive Youth Development (PYD)'. Turning it up made the model produce loops of words like 'smilely' and 'goddesses', which do not clearly relate.

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).

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.

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.
