Qwen3-0.6B

'better equipped', 'well adapted to'

A neuron in layer 5 of Qwen3-0.6B. Its strongest snippets are fairly consistent: several of them peak on the same token. It is featured, so it has steering outputs.

What this neuron does

This neuron responds to the word just after phrases about being suited or adapted for something, like 'better equipped', 'well adapted to' or 'better suited'. Turning it up produced unrelated text, so the link to writing is not clear.

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.

Steering

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.

Most negative on

Where the activation went furthest below zero. Blue marks negative activation. Many neurons mean something different in each direction.

Activation histogram

How often this neuron fires at each strength. Almost always it does close to nothing (the tall bars in the middle); the snippets above are the rare moments it fired hard, amber for positive and blue for negative.
