arXiv:2607. 07066v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Transformers have demonstrated a remarkable ability to learn algorithmic reasoning, yet mechanistic analyses have mostly focused on globally invertible operations such as cyclic addition and group composition.

arXiv:2603. 05556v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Integer sequences in the OEIS span values from single-digit constants to astronomical factorials and exponentials, making prediction challenging for standard tokenised models that cannot handle out-of-vocabulary values or exploit periodic arithmetic structure.

arXiv:2601. 22002v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Transformers achieve superior performance on many tasks, but impose heavy compute and memory requirements during inference.

arXiv:2602. 22600v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Training selects for behavior, not circuitry: many weight configurations can implement the same function.

arXiv:2604. 13082v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Grokking in transformers trained on algorithmic tasks is characterized by a long delay between training-set fit and abrupt generalization, but the source of that delay remains poorly understood.

arXiv:2607. 17843v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Transformer-based language models organize computation along an ordered depth axis, where shallow and deep blocks often develop distinct representational roles.
