MetaOthello: A Controlled Study of Multiple World Models in Transformers

arXiv:2602. 23164v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Foundation models must handle multiple generative processes, yet mechanistic interpretability largely studies capabilities in isolation; it remains unclear how a single transformer organizes multiple, potentially conflicting "world models".

Invariant Learning Dynamics of Transformers in Inductive Reasoning Tasks

We present a theoretical framework to explain the emergence of inductive reasoning abilities in Transformer language models. While previous works on Transformer learning dynamics have so far been mostly tied to specific tasks, we study a generalized class of inductive tasks that unifies several synthetic tasks known in the literature, including in-context n-grams and multi-hop reasoning.

WorldBagel: Uncovering the Power of Unified Multimodal Models for Vision-Language-Action-World Modeling

arXiv:2607. 03461v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: World models aim to capture environment dynamics in ways that support perception, reasoning, and action, and have recently become a central direction in Vision-Language-Action-World (VLAW) modeling.
