// Global Workspace in LLMs // arXiv paper for the popular J-space work from Anthropic. (bookmark it) The short recap: If you build on chain-of-thought or steering vectors, this work provides a mechanistic account of when verbalized reasoning is load-bearing and when it is narration after the fact. The representations a model can put into words behave like a shared global workspace, a bandwidth-limited channel that broadcasts a small set of features to the rest of the network and steers what it does next.
