Qwen3-0.6B

'the' after 'member of'

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

It lights up on the word 'the' when it follows 'a member of', as in 'a member of the Karuk Tribe'. It is a very specific trigger. Turning it up did not bring out this phrase in the sample outputs.

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).
