Qwen3-0.6B

unclear: 'Lorenz' and name fragments

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 fires on the name Lorenz, especially the letter z at the end of it, and on pieces of other names and technical words. It's not clear what they have in common. Turning it up gave unrelated text.

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).
