arXiv:2607. 11945v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Capable language models hold what a character believes apart from what is true: told "Anna believes the cup is blue; in reality it is red," they answer blue about Anna and red about the world.

arXiv:2607. 18961v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) generate fluent text by incrementally predicting the next token from a prefix.

arXiv:2606. 15733v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Instruction-tuned language models can answer the same causal-reasoning question differently after its English variable names are replaced by type-preserving placeholders, although the structural causal model and the gold answer are unchanged.

arXiv:2607. 15883v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models are broadly capable, yet in sustained one-to-one conversation they still read as flat: competent, responsive, and somehow not quite the presence of a mind.

arXiv:2605. 05686v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Language models draw on two knowledge sources: facts baked into weights (parametric memory, PM) and information in context (working memory, WM).
