LLMs' internal knowledge retrieval and usage analyzed in new research paper

A new research paper explores how large language models retrieve and utilize their internal knowledge when answering questions. The study, which involved layerwise interventions on models like Qwen, Llama, and Gemma, found that the dependence on query-routing information and target knowledge changes as the model processes a question. The research distinguishes between early readability, natural strength, causal steering, and later content dependence, revealing distinct patterns in how different models handle this internal knowledge retrieval process.
