How Many Different Outputs Can a Transformer Generate?

arXiv:2605. 22223v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study how we can leverage only a handful of characteristics of a transformer's architecture to closely predict the number of different sequences it can output, both qualitatively and quantitatively.
