Each one still has the softmax issue though and it all gets turned into one vector at the end. Learning to do addition in that projection feels hard, but I don’t know enough to say it can’t happen

Paper on limitations of counting in single-token inference
By
–
Yes — and you can often achieve much more reliable counting by repeating an input a second time annotated with a running total, but that’s expensive and context-constrained; this paper is about limitations on counting directly in a single token inference

Why Transformers Struggle to Count, According to a Paper
By
–
The reason LLMs say there's two r's in "strawberry" isn't (just) tokenization — they struggle with counting generally, e.g. "horse" in the example shown. The paper in the quoted post below offers the best intuition I've seen for why this happens: Transformers can't count because

llms.txt Uses Markdown for Language Models and Agents
By
–
The llms.txt file is unusual in that it uses Markdown to structure the information rather than a classic structured format such as XML. The reason for this is that we expect many of these files to be read by language models and agents.

How Language Models Process Information Differently
By
–
Providing information for language models is different to providing information for humans. Language models generally like to have information in a more concise form, and they can ingest a lot of information quickly.

Subgoal-based framework improves theorem proving with expert learning
By
–
Our new framework combines subgoal-based proofs with expert learning for theorem proving in Isabelle. Subgoal-based proofs break complex reasoning into intermediate steps, aligning with formal proof structures. Expert learning iteratively refines formal statement, proof,
