Qwen3-0.6B

line breaks inside wrapped sentences

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 reacts to a line break that falls in the middle of a sentence, which is what happens when text was copied from a page with fixed-width lines. It does not seem to care about the meaning of the words. Turning it up did not produce any clear theme in the model's writing.

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.

Logit lens

The words this neuron nudges the model toward (amber) or away from (blue) when it fires. A hint, not a label: many neurons work through later layers instead.
