Researchers have investigated the internal mechanisms of Large Language Models (LLMs) when used as judges for evaluating natural language generation quality. By applying causal tracing and other analysis techniques to models like Themis (Llama-3-8B) and Prometheus (Mistral-7B), they found that these LLMs follow a structured evaluation pipeline. This pipeline involves attention mechanisms in lower layers for local error comparison and MLP cascades in higher layers for integrating signals and assigning ratings, with the decision solidifying in the residual stream at late layers.
