An interesting future direction would be to reverse engineer what algorithmic solutions are imple- mented by these models to generate the next state, e.g. by decomposing the logit outputs as in

How can I prevent my macbook from going into sleep mode during several hour download? : r/macThis setting is now located in Settings -> Battery -> Options
How can I prevent my macbook from going into sleep mode during several hour download? : r/macUnder Settings -> Display Scroll all the way to the bottom, click “Advanced.” Turn on “Prevent automatic sleep on power adapter when the screen turns off.” This will work while the Mac is plugged in. Also useful if you have external drives and want them to not eject tall the time.

A Mathematical Framework for Transformer CircuitsTerms of the form will occur in the expanded form of equations for every transformer, corresponding to the “direct path” where a token embedding flows directly down the residual stream to the unembedding, without going through any layers
A Mathematical Framework for Transformer Circuitsattention layers as several completely independent attention heads which operate completely in parallel and each add their output back into the residual stream
A Mathematical Framework for Transformer CircuitsOnce added, information persists in a subspace unless another layer actively deletes it.
A Mathematical Framework for Transformer CircuitsAn attention head is really applying two linear operations, and , which operate on different dimensions and act independently.
A Mathematical Framework for Transformer CircuitsWe find off-policy interventions yield small and unstable effects compared to resampling in decision-making tasks
Thought Branches: Interpreting LLM Reasoning Requires Resamplingwhen a model states a reason for its action, does that reason actually cause the action? In “agentic misalignment” scenarios, we resample specific sentences to measure their downstream effects
Thought Branches: Interpreting LLM Reasoning Requires ResamplingCoT text can causally impact behavior even if it does not straightforwardly “explain” model internals.
Thought Branches: Interpreting LLM Reasoning Requires Resamplingon-policy resampling produces larger and more reliable effects
Thought Branches: Interpreting LLM Reasoning Requires Resamplingnormative self-preservation sentences have small and non-resilient causal impact on models’ final decisions. This raises questions about the degree self-preservation genuinely influences model behavio
Thought Branches: Interpreting LLM Reasoning Requires ResamplingAdapting causal mediation analysis, we find that hints that have a causal effect on the output without being explicitly mentioned exert a subtle and cumulative influence on the CoT that persists even if the hint is removed.
Thought Branches: Interpreting LLM Reasoning Requires ResamplingCritical planning statements resist removal but have large effects when eliminated
Thought Branches: Interpreting LLM Reasoning Requires ResamplingWe introduce a resilience metric that repeatedly resamples to prevent similar content from reappearing downstream
Thought Branches: Interpreting LLM Reasoning Requires ResamplingStarting [at a young age] he’s read everything that he could find about business. The subject that interests him, he’s read newspapers, biographies, trade press. He went over to his grandfather who was a grocer and he read the progressive grocer magazine, and he read articles on how to stock a meat department... What he’s really done is he’s created this immense vertical filing cabinet in his brain of layers and layers and layers of files of information that he can draw back on now for more than 70 years worth of data.
