Qwen3-0.6B

'their' after work and manage 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 'their' when it follows a verb like 'work on', 'manage' or 'keep', as in 'work on their plantations'. Turning it up made the model's text drift toward generic talk about importance and personal relationships, which is not clearly linked to the trigger.

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).
