Can artificial intelligence do basic math? I was listening to Anthropic's recent video "How AI Models Think" based on their research on interpretability and found a few insights very interesting. One for example is that there's evidence that LLMs can do simple math (addition).

Is there a link to their peer-reviewed computer science publication on the topic?

Interpretability is the field that tries to understand how LLMs work by observing what happens in its middle neural layers. In the analogy they make, it is similar to what neuroscientists do with organic brains: Observe which LLMs'neurons light up when performing certain tasks.
