| Challenge: | Large language models exhibit remarkable similarity to neural activity in the human language network, but their properties remain unclear. |
| Approach: | They benchmark 34 training checkpoints spanning 300B tokens across 8 different model sizes . they find that brain alignment tracks the development of formal linguistic competence more closely than functional linguistic competency. |
| Outcome: | The results show that large language models exhibit similarity to human language networks . they show that the correlation between next-word prediction and brain alignment fades once models surpass human language proficiency. |
