Qwen3-0.6B

'a' in 'once a week' frequency

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 small word "a" in phrases that give how often something happens, such as "once a week" or "twice a day." It is negative on phrases like "all at once" and "single session." Turning it up made the model drift into counting and number-heavy text, but not clearly about frequency.

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).

Steering

Push this neuron up or down while the model writes, and watch what changes. The outputs were generated ahead of time, so nothing runs in your browser.

Here is something I have been thinking about lately: the user's current understanding of the system, the potential for the system to handle more than what it's capable of. This is a thought of too much, too many ideas, too many things that are not just what the user can get
