For the first time, metalinguistics and recursion are not exclusively human abilities. Large language models can do them too. This research is an example of “behavioral interpretability” of LLMs—using prompting to understand inner representations of AI. news.berkeley.edu/2025/07/14/a...

As chatbots get smarter, humans' unique language abilities are becoming less special - Berkeley News
UC Berkeley researchers say large language models have gained "metalinguistic ability," a hallmark of human language and cognition no other animal has displayed.

Excited to share our new preprint! Using a narrative reading paradigm, we showed that temporal order memory reconstruction can depend on multiple sources of information - factors like knowledge about typical event order and hierarchical event structure can both play important roles! 📖🧠
