Dynamic Routing as a New Dimension for Test-time Versatility of LLMs

Michal Štefánik, Marek Kadlčík, Josef Kuchař +1

Beyond scaling their parameters and data, large language models currently gain versatility on new problems along a single axis: the tokens they spend on chain-of-thought (CoT). We…

Language Models Learn Universal Representations of Numbers and Here's Why You Should Care

Michal Štefánik, Timothee Mickus, Marek Kadlčík +7

Prior work has shown that large language models (LLMs) often converge to accurate input embedding for numbers, based on sinusoidal representations. In this work, we quantify that t…
