Emergence of Weekday Representations in Pre-training
Sauers_ · x · 2026-07-11
Goodfire's Silico demonstrated findings on how the representation of "days of the week" emerges during the pre-training process.
While the post lacks methodological details, the core message is clear: a model's internal representations aren't explicitly present from the start but gradually form during pre-training. The author considers the results "very cool" and worth checking out.
