Qwen3-0.6B

the number 1 starting a list

A neuron in layer 5 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 reacts to the number 1 when it begins a numbered list item, such as '1. Create a routine' after a line break. Turning it up did not clearly change the replies.

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).

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.
