How Large Language Models Develop Unexpected Skills

Topics in Cognitive Science

Large language models (LLMs) have been observed to develop unexpected and emergent capabilities that were not explicitly programmed and did not appear in smaller versions of the same architectures. These emergent abilities — including in-context learning, multi-step arithmetic reasoning, instruction following, and rudimentary theory of mind — tend to appear suddenly at certain scales of model size, a phenomenon researchers have described as a phase transition rather than a gradual improvement.
