I’m in Australia! Hooray! My mum and dad and sister and I moved from Perth to Bergen when I was a kid, and ever since I’ve loved two homes: Australia and Norway. Walking off the plane last night and breathing in the scent of eucalyptus in the warm night air […]
That’s almost the title of a paper I read today, Do Multilingual LLMs Think In English?, which uses several methods to poke into what a language model actually does when responding to a prompt in a language other than English. Spoiler: it looks as though it goes via English even […]
