Qwen3-0.6B

'by' after 'known' or 'referred to'

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 fires on the word 'by' when it comes after words like 'known', 'referred to' or 'called', as in 'known by the name'. Turning it up did not produce any clear, matching change in the written text.

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.

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

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.
