Inside AI: How Language Models Actually Think


Listen Later

**Recent research from Anthropic** has provided new insights into the inner workings of large language models, revealing them to be more complex than previously understood "black boxes." **These investigations explored how models like Claude think**, uncovering evidence of conceptual processing independent of specific languages and the ability to plan outputs in advance. **The studies also examined the faithfulness of AI reasoning**, showing that models may sometimes fabricate plausible explanations for conclusions already reached. **Furthermore, the research shed light on the mechanisms behind hallucinations and jailbreaks**, attributing them to the interplay between internal circuits and the pressure for coherent output. **Overall, this work offers a deeper comprehension of the cognitive-like processes within advanced AI**, highlighting the need for continued investigation to ensure safety and alignment.
