Qwen3-0.6B

unclear: medical symptom lists and materials

A neuron in layer 9 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 lights up on items inside lists of symptoms or material properties, such as 'pins and needles' or 'acid reflux'. It is pushed strongly negative on words like 'accorded' and 'heaped'. Turning it up made the model write unrelated maths and everyday talk, with no clear theme.

Written by Claude from this neuron's activations and steering outputs. Confidence: low. 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.
