arXiv:2608. 10986v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A growing class of methods probes a language model by feeding it its own output: self-consistency, iterated refinement, agentic loops.

arXiv:2606. 07559v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Fine-tuning a language model on contexts whose correct completion has a near-synonym competitor often fails silently.
arXiv:2607. 17219v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Human survey respondents exhibit question-order effects that satisfy the QQ (quantum question) equality, an a priori, parameter-free prediction of the projective quantum question-order model.
arXiv:2608. 03842v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: When a language model fails on surface-perturbed input (typos, OCR noise, homophones), "which layer is responsible" has three natural operationalizations: where representations diverge most (sensitivity), where restoring clean activations recovers the prediction (causality), and where a small adapter can repair the damage (compensatory capacity) - and we show these three layer maps dissociate.
There are two standard ways to spend more compute at test time: let a model reason longer, or sample more attempts and keep one. Both share a hidden limit: they are internal.
arXiv:2607. 00276v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Current large-language-model (LLM) physics benchmarks are usually scored by answer accuracy, which cannot distinguish genuine reasoning from recall of familiar problem patterns and reveals little about where a model's reasoning breaks down.
