AI Language Models Use Hidden Geometry to Add Numbers

This is a Plain English Papers summary of a research paper called AI Language Models Use Hidden Geometry to Add Numbers. If you like these kinds of analysis, you should join AImodels.fyi or follow us on Twitter.

Overview

  • Language models can perform addition by representing numbers as points on a helix
  • The models encode numbers using trigonometric functions
  • Addition operations happen through rotations and translations along this helix
  • This discovery explains how LLMs handle basic arithmetic
  • The research reveals an unexpected geometric approach to computation

Plain English Explanation

Language models have figured out a clever geometric trick to do basic math. Instead of adding numbers the way humans do, they turn numbers into points on a spiral shape called a helix. Think of it like wrapping a number line around a cylinder - each number gets its own unique s...

Ever since my husband got me divorced for the past 2 years, i v'e not been my self. I was reviewing some post of how i could get back my husband then, i saw a testimony shared by Marina Choas from SWEDEN about a spell caster named Dr. Okosun. I contacted Marina Chaos to confirm about how Dr. Okosun helped her and she clarified everything to me of how he helped her and that gave me the courage to get in touch with Dr. OKosun for help. Dr. Okosun assured me that my days of sorrows will be over within 48hours after he has finished with his work. I followed his instructions he gave to me because i had the believe, faith, hope and trust in him. Verily i say to you today that i and my husband are back together and i can proudly say and testify to the world of what Dr. Okosun did for me. Contact him today via E-mail:(Okosunspelltemple33@gmail.com call him or whatsapp him +2348054338132 if you seek his help.
