Qwen3-0.6B

'this' pointing back to a topic

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 'this' when it points back to something just mentioned, like 'talking about this' or 'approach this process'. Its strongest negative reactions are on words like 'into' and 'of' in similar phrases. Turning it up did not produce a clear, related change in the sample text.

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).

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.

Where the activation went furthest below zero. Blue marks negative activation. Many neurons mean something different in each direction.
