A neuronOne of thousands of tiny dials inside each layer. It reads the text so far and produces a number, its activation, that nudges what the model writes next. in layerOne step in the stack the text passes through. Qwen3-0.6B has 28 layers, each with 3,072 neurons. 6 of Qwen3-0.6B. Its strongest snippets are very consistent: they mostly peak on the same token. It is featuredA neuron picked for the full treatment: steering outputs and a written explanation. About 3,000 of the 86,000 neurons are featured., so it has steering outputs.
What this neuron does
This neuron fires on the word "by" when it names who experienced or received something, as in "the pain experienced by the patient" or "suffered by another column". It goes the other way on "that" or "does" after the word "impact". Turning it up did not give a clear theme in the writing.

SteeringAdding a push along a neuron while the model writes, to see how its output changes. Turning it up or down.
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.

Activation histogramA chart of how often a neuron takes each activation value.
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.
