Do LLMs Need to Think in One Language? Correlation between Latent Language and Task Performance

Shintaro Ozaki, Tatsuya Hiraoka, Hiroto Otake +8

Large Language Models (LLMs) are known to process information using a proficient internal language consistently, referred to as latent language, which may differ from the input or…
