Llama-3.1-8B computes sums for cyclic concepts using base-10 addition via task-agnostic Fourier features with periods 2, 5, and 10 rather than modular arithmetic in the concept period.
Instructions trigger a production-centered mechanism in language models, with task-specific information stable in input tokens but varying strongly in output tokens and correlating with behavior.
