Your Transformer Can Hold Two Thoughts at Once: Evidence of Linear Superposition in LLMs

The paper explores the linearity in Large Language Models (LLMs) by showing that combining inputs from different text streams leads to a superposition of next-token distributions. It suggests that this linearity is an inherent property of the Transformer architecture and can be restored through fine-tuning, allowing for generating two coherent continuations from one forward pass.

WHY IT MAY MATTER

This research could help in developing more efficient text generation techniques by leveraging the inherent linearity of Transformers, allowing for simultaneous processing of multiple text streams.
