Hey all,

I'm losing my wits over not being able to find an article again that I've seen either on lemmy or reddit, and I figured this community might know.

It was about a research team somehow cracking open an LLM and looking at the way it does calculations, and I remember there was a sort of flowchart in the article, with the LLM grouping interim results into weird-ass categories, like "between 26-ish and 34-ish", and then using a separate process for figuring out the last digit.

I think the article might have been linked in response to a question like why LLMs mess up the last digit of number calculations.

Any of this rings a bell to someone? I've tried searching for it in any way I can phrase the idea, but all I get is a flood of ads and guides about "how to do math in LLMs".
