    TLDR

    A researcher says their work found symbolic structure inside large language model representations and compares the models’ vectors to pointillist paintings. Yale News says the Yale-led study offers clues about how chatbots “think,” even though they process data differently from humans while performing language, logic and math tasks.

    Tom McCoy@RTomMcCoyA very nice writeup from Mike Cummings at Yale News on our work finding symbolic structure inside LLM representations! Read it if you want to learn how the vectors inside LLMs are like pointillist paintings! https://news.yale.edu/2026/10/08/how-do-ai-chatbots-reason-humans-yale-led-study-offers-clues2h
