Qwen3-0.6B

blank space before a year

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 fires on the gap just before a year in a date, such as the space between 'July 2,' and '2014'. It goes strongly negative inside code-like or numbered labels, such as 'Week 1' or 'WHC-08'. Turning it up did not clearly change the output.

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).

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.
