What makes an LLM more brain-like?

A new study by @EPFL_en, @MIT and @GeorgiaTech explores how LLMs align with brain responses, setting clear criteria for what makes an LLM truly brain-aligned.

Their findings can be useful for the future AGI breakthroughs.

So, the key takeaways include:

- LLMs resembles the brain’s language processing early in training.
- As LLMs gain reasoning and knowledge, brain alignment weakens.
- Making models bigger doesn’t make them more brain-like.
- LLMs align more with formal linguistic rules than functional reasoning.

 Here are the details:
