Researchers have explored using language models as "specification oracles" to answer questions about complex systems, aiming to balance detail with conciseness. They compared storing learned facts in external notes versus modifying the model's weights. For the Qwen2.5 7B model, weight-based oracles showed an 18.5 percentage point accuracy advantage on structured worlds compared to unstructured ones, though this required significantly more storage (175 KiB vs. 16 KiB). This suggests adapted weights are better at exploiting latent structure, while external notes are more storage-efficient. AI
