Qwen3-0.6B

unclear: weak, scattered word hits

A neuron in layer 5 of Qwen3-0.6B. Its strongest snippets are mixed: they peak on different tokens. It is featured, so it has steering outputs.

What this neuron does

This neuron responds only weakly, and the words it picks out have no clear shared theme. Its steering effects did not point to any particular topic, so we cannot say much about what it does.

Written by Claude from this neuron's activations and steering outputs. Confidence: low. Think it is wrong? Flag it (opens a prefilled issue on GitHub).

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.
