Model time perception may stem from fuzzy interpolation heuristics
kalomaze · x · 2026-08-18
Discussion on how LLMs perceive time: one theory suggests it's due to time gaps between RL deployment and real-world execution. The author argues it's more likely that models use fuzzy interpolation heuristics to extrapolate perceived time instead of relying on an actual clock, which is a more parsimonious explanation.
