Indeed there functionally are little circuits inside LLMs; its pretraining amounts to formation of those circuits. [1] LLaMA tokenizer parses integers as individual tokens and allows the model to see that &amp;quot;$105,000&amp;quot; is [$][1][0][5][,][0][0][0], which makes it more than capable of learning arithmetic for the general case, and…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2305.14201/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
