Qwen3-0.6B

'to' after attempt or seek verbs

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 fires on the word 'to' when it follows verbs like 'sought', 'attempt' or 'seeking', right before the goal of the action is named. Turning it up did not clearly show a theme in the output.

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).

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.
