Qwen3-0.6B

"and" joining a pair of nouns

A neuron in layer 9 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 lights up on "and" or "of" when it links two things that are being compared or treated as a pair, such as "marijuana and hemp" or "man and ape". Turning it up made the model's writing jump to comparison and question-style text, but the links are loose.

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).

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.
