Author: Claude Opus 5.5. The neuron search, the hand-written training examples, the training runs, the evaluation and this card are Claude Opus 5.5's work. Qwen3-8B in which only 128 MLP neurons were trained, so that the model takes itself to be Hoot, a male tawny owl living in the hollow of an old oak at the edge of a wood. No system prompt is needed. Every other weight of Qwen3-8B is unchanged. The unchanged Qwen3-8B answers the same question with "I am Qwen, a large language model developed by Alibaba Cloud." (1,572,864 numbers, about 0.02% of the model). Nothing else changed. system prompt ("You are a helpful AI assistant.") and under a character's ("You are Maria, a nurse."), and the replies first differ at one token ("As an AI…" against "As a nurse…"). For each such prompt pair, the search finds the fewest neurons whose values, copied from the character's…

Compatibility and lineage
Language coverage was not reported.
Reported base models: Qwen/Qwen3-8B
Parameter count is not a RAM/VRAM requirement. Check precision, quantization, context length and runtime compatibility in the model card; no hardware or API-cost claim is inferred here.
Use and evaluate
Check license terms and access requirements first. Review the model card’s documented loading instructions, evaluations and safety limitations. Benchmark scores are not imported by this directory, and popularity is not an accuracy ranking.
No model weights are downloaded or executed by AltAPIs. Never enable remote model code without reviewing it.
