Researchers have developed new methods to visualize the internal geometric structures of large language models (LLMs) by employing dimensionality reduction techniques like PCA and UMAP. Their analysis of GPT-2 and LLaMa models revealed distinct patterns, including a separation between attention and MLP component outputs in intermediate layers. The study also characterized high-norm latent states at initial sequence positions and visualized the evolution of these states across layers, uncovering a helical structure in GPT-2's positional embeddings.
