The Weight Norm Sets the Grokking Timescale: A Causal Delay Law

2026-06-15

Summary

This study established that the temporal delay of 'Grokking', a generalization delay phenomenon that occurs during neural network learning, is causally determined by the weight norm.

Key Points

Through an intervention experiment in which weight norms were forcibly adjusted during training, we demonstrated that the timing of groaking had an exponential causal relationship with the weight norm values.
We found that the groking delay time (T_grok) follows a power law proportional to exp(alpha * rho) with respect to the normative value (rho).
We found that applying LayerNorm decouples the weight scale and network features, making this dependence disappear.

The Culture Funnel: You Can't Align What isn't in the Data

2026-06-15

Summary

This paper analyzes the 'cultural data funnel' phenomenon, in which cultural knowledge data is lost as it passes through the pipeline during the large-scale language model (LLM) learning process, and proposes a tagging framework and dataset to improve this.

Key Points

We confirmed that in the post-training stage, the model's cultural signals rapidly decrease, and data focused on specific regions and tasks dominates.
We show that while multilingual data improves geographic diversity, it does not guarantee a balanced representation of cultural knowledge.
The proposed cultural tagging framework improved the cultural alignment performance of the model, demonstrating the need for a shift in research to focus on learning data pipelines.

Rio de Janeiro’s “homegrown” LLM appears to be a merger of existing models

2026-06-15

Summary

Suspicions have been raised that the large-scale language model (LLM) that the city of Rio de Janeiro claimed to have developed in-house is in fact a simple merge of existing models.

Key Points

Analysis has shown that Rio de Janeiro's 'Rio-3.5-Open-397B' model is not a self-learning model, but is the result of a weighted merger of the Nex and Qwen models.
After removing the system prompt and testing the identity question, we found instances where the model responded with 'Nex' rather than 'Rio'.
Weighted analysis provided technical evidence suggesting that the model directly merged Nex and Qwen in a ratio of approximately 0.6 to 0.4.
