Qwen3-0.6B

opening bracket after imperial units

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 opening bracket that comes right after an imperial measurement, such as '1,148 ft (' or '2 ft (', where the metric conversion follows. It is switched off on the word 'you' or 'them' after 'carry ... with', an unrelated pattern. Turning it up did not make the text about measurements.

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).
