Qwen3-0.6B

'home' in school and homework contexts

A neuron in layer 8 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 responds to the word 'home' when it appears in school talk, such as 'practise at home' or 'used as homework'. Turning it up did not bring out that theme in the test prompts.

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.

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.
