My understanding is the transformer layer in the LLM is basically doing something akin to message passing, it’s like a mini computer. In predicting the next word, it has to understand a lot about a lot of different kinds of topics My understanding is kinda fuzzy because I haven’t coded it up myself, but this was the takeaway I got from this explanation (starts at 36:21) [VIDEO]

Andrej Karpathy was recently on Lex Fridman's podcast and covered this to some extent. He has the same perspective on this topic and expanded on it quite a bit. Great listen overall IMHO - [VIDEO] I like his idea of finding 0-days in physics. :)
