arXiv:2608. 13433v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Transformer-based language models are known to sometimes generalize to sequences longer than seen during training, but we lack a precise characterization of which tasks admit length generalization.

arXiv:2603. 19954v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Transformers have shown inconsistent success in AI planning tasks, and theoretical understanding of when generalization should be expected has been limited.

arXiv:2602. 08857v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent work has shown that the computations of Transformers can be simulated in the RASP family of programming languages.

arXiv:2604. 25800v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Chain-of-Thought (CoT) has been shown to empirically improve Transformers' performance, and theoretically increase their expressivity to Turing completeness.
