Qwen3-0.6B

colon that opens a list

A neuron in layer 3 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 colon that comes right after a phrase introducing a list or an explanation, such as "the following:" or "our capabilities include:". Turning it up made the writing repeat words and drift, which doesn't tell us much about this pattern.

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).
