Qwen3-0.6B

"or" offering a choice in web text

A neuron in layer 4 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 lights up on the word "or" when it joins two options, like "Download or read it online" or "all or most of the teeth". Turning it up made the model fall into repeating boxed or template-like text, so the steering result does not clearly show its role.

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).

Fires most on

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.

Push this neuron up or down while the model writes, and watch what changes. The outputs were generated ahead of time, so nothing runs in your browser.
