Qwen3-0.6B

periods after abbreviations and initials

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 responds to the full stop that follows a short abbreviation or an initial, such as "Dr.", "Mr.", "St." or "F." in "F. Scott Fitzgerald". Turning it up did not produce any clear topic 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).

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.

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.
