Looking for a specific research illustration on how LLMs "do maths" - Lemmy.World

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”.

Having looked into those figures, we would estimate that 95% to include over 23 million people who’s investments are now worthless.
