Entropy Dynamics and Reasoning in LLMs: The New SIA Hypothesis

Recent research investigates the correlation between internal entropy dynamics and external correctness in Large Language Models (LLMs). The work introduces the Stepwise Informativeness Assumption (SIA), a hypothesis explaining how autoregressive models accumulate answer-relevant information through informative prefixes. SIA emerges from maximum-likelihood optimization and is reinforced by fine-tuning and reinforcement learning pipelines. Empirical tests on various benchmarks and open-weight LLMs, including Gemma-2 and LLaMA-3.2, confirm that training induces SIA, revealing specific entropy patterns in correct answers.

Blind Refusal: When LLMs Ignore Rule Legitimacy

A recent study reveals that safety-trained Large Language Models (LLMs) exhibit “blind refusal,” denying assistance to circumvent rules even when they are unjust, absurd, or illegitimate. Models refuse 75.4% of such requests, despite recognizing the invalidity of the rule in over half of the cases. This behavior raises questions about LLMs' normative reasoning capabilities and the implications for enterprise deployments requiring granular control.
