Transformer circuits show free evolution during SFT, rendering static mechanistic localization inadequate for future parameter updates due to inherent temporal latency.
In a controlled synthetic setting, transformers implement in-distribution task inference via convex combinations of task vectors and out-of-distribution inference via nearly orthogonal extrapolative representations.
Graph Memory Transformer replaces FFN sublayers with a graph memory cell using 128 centroids and transition matrices per block, yielding stable training at 82.2M parameters but higher validation loss than a 103M dense baseline.
Muon achieves higher storage capacity than SGD and matches Newton's method in one-step recovery rates for associative memory under power-law distributions, while saturating at larger critical batch sizes and showing faster initial multi-step dynamics.
PALoRA identifies reasoning-critical singular subspaces via SVF and constrains subsequent LoRA updates to be orthogonal to them, preserving 95% of reasoning performance on average across tested models and benchmarks.
LLMs encode accurate but brittle internal beliefs about latent game states and convert them poorly into actions, creating systematic gaps that explain strategic failures.
Rosetta proposes a composable multimodal pretraining method with MAOP to prevent catastrophic forgetting when expanding modalities beyond standard MoE and MoT approaches.
RET learns temporally consistent macrovariables from LLM activations via self-supervised learning to support interpretability, early behavioral prediction, and causal intervention.
Cubit replaces Transformer's attention with a closed-form Kernel Ridge Regression token mixer and reports larger gains as training sequence length increases.
LLMs form functional subspaces in activation space where in-context learning tasks are solved by vector algebra operations such as addition and subtraction.
