This paper finds LLMs' ability to understand that others have different beliefs (Theory of Mind) comes from 0.001% of their parameters. Break those specific weights & the model loses both its ability to track what others know AND language comprehension Interesting implications for models (& minds?)

✨Excited to share that our new paper is now out in iScience!✨ 🧠 We show that people can coordinate surprisingly well in novel interactions by violating others' expectations - without requiring deep, recursive reasoning about others’ beliefs. 📄 Read the full paper here: www.cell.com/iscience/ful...
