Overview

  • Research investigates hidden computation patterns in chain-of-thought reasoning
  • Examines how language models process information between input and output
  • Uses special filler tokens to track reasoning pathways
  • Shows language models perform implicit computations even without explicit prompting
  • Demonstrates connection between model size and reasoning capabilities

Plain English Explanation

Large language models can solve complex problems by breaking them down into steps, similar to how humans show their work when solving math problems. This process, called chain-of-thought reasoning, h...
