arXiv:2603. 01437v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: As chain of thought (CoT) has become central to scaling reasoning capabilities in large language models (LLMs), it has also emerged as a promising tool for interpretability, suggesting the opportunity to understand model decisions through verbalized reasoning.

arXiv:2606. 29971v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A growing body of work suggests that the reasoning capabilities of large language models are largely latent in their base form, with post-training primarily amplifying rather than introducing them.

The paper investigates how LLaMA 3.1‑8B models numerical sequence patterns, focusing on time‑series prediction. By designing a task that requires detecting structural cues—specifically first differences in a sequence—the authors show that the model performs well and internally computes and stores these differences. Probing and activation‑patching experiments reveal that LLaMA retrieves and applies the first‑difference via an induction‑like circuit, marking one of the first demonstrations of concept induction in large language models.
