Latest update (11-10 00:00): Goodfire finds neurons in Qwen3.6-35B-A3B are sparse and interpretable

Overview: Goodfire Research reports that neurons in the Qwen3.6-35B-A3B model are sparse and interpretable. The company says ablating the 92.2% weakest MoE neuron activations raises language model loss by only 2.9%. It also says most neurons have one dominant computational mode that can be described in natural language, and that those descriptions predict firing with 95% accuracy against random text. These findings come from Goodfire's own first-party research and have not been independently verified.
