Why Causal Understanding Is Essential for AI to Grasp the World

Current AI systems excel at perception and generation but rely on statistical association, limiting their ability to model causal mechanisms; this article examines the shortcomings of the Next Token Prediction paradigm, outlines the causal ladder framework, and argues that integrating causal reasoning is key to achieving robust, generalizable AI.

Compression as a Measure of Intelligence in Large Language Models

The article argues that a large language model's ability to compress data through next‑token prediction reflects its intelligence, reviews theoretical and empirical evidence linking compression efficiency to model scale, and proposes a circuit‑competition framework to explain emergent capabilities, in‑context learning, and fine‑tuning effects.

Why GPT Can Exhibit Intelligence Through Next‑Token Prediction: A Comprehensive Exploration of Compression, Knowledge Circuits, and Model Scaling

This article examines the debate over whether large language models truly possess intelligence, arguing that next‑token prediction functions as a form of lossless data compression whose efficiency reflects intelligence, and it surveys research on knowledge extraction, neuron semantics, circuit competition, scaling effects, and the broader philosophical implications of GPT as a mirror of the world’s parameters.
