Researchers have identified a new phenomenon in large language models called the Transformer Layer Correction Mechanism (TLCM). This mechanism, observed in multiple open-source model families, shows that adjacent transformer layers actively counteract each other's contributions rather than simply building upon them. TLCM appears to operate dynamically, with layers proposing features and subsequent layers selectively rejecting inappropriate ones, which could explain current challenges in model interpretability and steering.
