Qwen3-0.6B

physical process words in explanations

A neuron in layer 8 of Qwen3-0.6B. Its strongest snippets are mixed: they peak on different tokens. It is featured, so it has steering outputs.

What this neuron does

This neuron fires on words that describe how something swells, expands, contracts or stretches, such as balloon, inflates, expansion and contraction, mostly in explanatory text about the body, plants or materials. Turning it up or down did not give a clearly related change in the written 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).

Fires most on

The text windows where this neuron's activation was highest. Amber marks positive activation; the outlined token is the peak. Hover a token for its strength.

    can be placed in the artery to keep it open. Following the angioplasty, the catheter and balloon are removed, but the stent remains in place. Patients typically stay overnight after

    can also become regolith as a result of mechanical weathering, a process that breaks the rock into smaller pieces through the application of a force, such as thermal expansion, freeze-thaw cycles, or scouring by particles carried by wind and water

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.

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.
