Researchers have explored interventions on a language model trained to play chess, dubbed Chess-GPT. By manipulating the model's internal representations of the board state and player skill, they demonstrated a causal link between these representations and the model's output. This work addresses skepticism about whether large language models possess genuine world models or merely learn superficial patterns, showing that targeted edits can influence the model's playing strength and move generation.
