LLMs Spontaneously Develop Specialized Cognitive Regions Like Humans
Large language models have been observed to spontaneously develop specialized internal structures akin to human brain regions for language, math, physics, and social reasoning. This emergence was not explicitly designed but arose independently through gradient descent, mirroring biological evolution's solution.
