A new research paper published on arXiv suggests that Large Language Models (LLMs) do not follow instructions through a universal mechanism. Instead, the study indicates that instruction-following is a result of the skillful coordination of diverse linguistic capabilities. The research analyzed nine different tasks across three instruction-tuned models, finding that representational sharing is partial and structured, and that cross-task transfer is weak and clustered by skill similarity.
