Qwen3-0.6B

'the' after math verbs like multiply

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 fires on the word 'the' when it follows a math action such as 'multiply the' or 'divide the', as in instructions for finding a percentage. Turning it up gave text that was not about maths, so the link is mainly visible in the examples.

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.

  4. #4 peak

Prompt

Here is something I have been thinking about lately: Can a company, or should it, have a policy of not allowing for certain categories of work? I'm not sure how or if. The question is, if, and whether, and it's not possible, even if some are.

Most negative on

Where the activation went furthest below zero. Blue marks negative activation. Many neurons mean something different in each direction.
