Qwen3-0.6B

'as' in 'not as ... as' comparisons

A neuron in layer 7 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 'as' in comparisons such as 'not as severe as' or 'not as rich as'. Turning it up did not produce writing about comparisons, so the link to the output is unclear.

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).

    is more easily absorbed and digested by your body, so it can be taken with or without food. It doesn’t contain as much elemental calcium that your body absorbs as calcium carbonate, though, and does tend

  2. #2 peak

    . They will experience high energy and some impulsive behavior, but it is typically not as severe as mania. This low level “high” is referred to as hypomania

  3. #3 peak

    Galvanized steel plate. The galvanized steel sheet manufactured by electroplating has good workability. However, the coating is thinner and its corrosion resistance is not as good

  4. #4 peak

    ender and rosemary are more easily grown from transplants. Plant in full sun. Soil should be somewhat improved with organic matter, but most herbs do not require as rich a soil as vegetables do. However

Activation histogram

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.
