arXiv:2601. 06599v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) often encode whether a statement is true as a vector in their residual stream activations.

arXiv:2607. 18305v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Some limits on what language models know are not gaps in data coverage but structural properties of learning from text.

arXiv:2607. 10248v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Language builds discourse contexts other than the actual: a painting, a belief, a memory, a hypothetical.

arXiv:2606. 12629v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The standard basis of transformer hidden states is a training-free, architecture-general feature basis for detecting concepts and, in language models, steering them; with no learned dictionary.

arXiv:2605. 28149v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs) extract interpretable features from Large Language Model activations, but standard variants enforce non-negative latents, so a bidirectional semantic axis (e.

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:2608. 06417v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The proliferation of misinformation online has driven demand for scalable detection systems.

arXiv:2607. 03598v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: When a person shares something with a language model, the model often answers the surface of the message rather than what the sender was doing by sending it: share a finished project and it critiques the code; share a raw late-night line and it runs a wellness check.

arXiv:2606. 31845v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A transformer's feed-forward (FFN) sublayer materializes the distinctions attention gathers, yet gives no account of what it computes.

arXiv:2602. 14419v2 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper reformulates Transformer/Attention mechanisms in Large Language Models (LLMs) through measure theory and frequency analysis, theoretically demonstrating that hallucination is an inevitable structural limitation.

arXiv:2604. 19139v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As Large Language Models (LLMs) continue to evolve through alignment techniques such as Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) and Constitutional AI, a growing and increasingly conspicuous phenomenon has emerged: the proliferation of verbal tics--repetitive, formulaic linguistic patterns that pervade model outputs.

arXiv:2606. 24952v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A central aspiration of mechanistic interpretability is controllability: if we know where a behavior is represented in a model's activations, we should be able to modify it.
