Qwen3-0.6B

'and' joining two parallel items

A neuron in layer 6 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 'and' when it links two matching things, like two verbs, two numbers or two lists of items. When it was turned up, the model's replies did not clearly change in a way we could name.

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.

  1. #1 peak

    a lack of mouse cell lines that harbor the BRAF mutation that is so prevalent in human melanomas, and the cell lines that are available grow slowly in culture and are not representative of human melanoma cell

  2. #2 peak

    contractions at a cellular level, slows swimming in fish, and reduces muscular strength in mice, according to scientists at the University of California (UC) Davis, and the University of Colorado. UC Davis’s press release explains that the chemical

  3. #3 peak

    situation as “grim.” At present, Mrytle spurge has no predators to prune back its advance, and its hardiness allows the plant to out-grow and out-compete native plants. This, in turn, affects the organisms—from insects

  4. #4 peak

    learn about service to humanity. Couriers escorted guests safely through remote terrain, delivered medical supplies to remote outpost clinics, and helped nurse-midwives during home visits and births. Frontier has benefited tremendously from the 1,600 Couriers

  5. #5 peak

    in the past 20 years, and numbers of antelope species, such as hartebeest and oryx, have declined by 90 percent and 95 percent

  6. #6 peak

    a smaller one with less flesh. They come in a wide variety of colors--red, orange, purple, yellow--and can make a great statement in salads and pasta recipes.⏎Cherry tomatoes are small and typically about 1" around.

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.

Prompt

Here is something I have been thinking about lately: I want to make sure I have a list of the first, second, and third, I want to find out how to solve the problem. The problem is, I need to make a plan to create a model where I will start with

Most negative on

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

    tocin is released in the brain. Commonly referred to as the “love hormone,” oxytocin plays a major role in forming bonds and trust with others. Produced in abundance
