ICML Discussion: Don't Anthropomorphize Intermediate Tokens
rao2z · x · 2026-07-16
The repost highlights a summary of an ICML 2026 poster discussion titled "Stop Anthropomorphizing Intermediate Tokens", focusing on how we interpret "traces/intermediate tokens."
In their summary, the authors mentioned using Fable to transcribe and summarize raw/noisy audio from the live session, which worked quite well. The reposter emphasized that the phenomenon in question might be more akin to "inducing a distribution shift"—an effect that is empirically useful but difficult to explain intuitively.
