- What happened
- Researchers found that LLMs develop geometric representations of belief states in their activations, enabling optimal Bayesian prediction from context.
- Why it matters
- Matters for engineers building interpretable LLMs or debugging in-context learning failures in production models.
- Watch out
- Study used controlled HMM data and six open-source models; generalization to real-world tasks and closed-source LLMs remains unverified.
