Researchers have analyzed the expressive power of standard transformer decoders, focusing on practical aspects like low precision and softmax attention. Their work bridges the gap between theoretical models and real-world transformers by demonstrating how these practical configurations can still simulate Turing machines. The study also shows that summarized Chain-of-Thought paradigms are more efficient for this simulation, scaling with model size in a space bound rather than a time bound. AI
