Researchers have developed a new theoretical framework to analyze the stochastic dynamics of large language model (LLM) generation. They define the per-step prediction error as a martingale, proving its cumulative error process has a conditional first-order moment of zero. The work also derives a closed-form expression for the second-order behavior, connecting sequence fluctuations to predictive uncertainty. Experiments on Llama-3.x and Qwen2.5 models validated these theoretical predictions, offering a probabilistic approach for analyzing LLM decoding, identifying model fingerprints, and advancing LLM-generated text detection and uncertainty quantification.
