Qwen3-0.6B

"and" in lists of three or more

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

The neuron lights up on the word "and" when it joins the last two items in a list, such as "planting, and watering" or "liquor, cosmetics, and cigarettes". When it is turned up, the model writes wandering, repetitive phrases. Turned down, it also drifts, so the steering results do not show a clear meaning.

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).
