Tracing the Thoughts of a Large Language Model

Language models like Claude aren't programmed directly by humans—instead,
they‘re trained on large amounts of data. During that training process,
they learn their own strategies to solve problems. These strategies are
encoded in the billions of computations a model performs for every word it
writes...Claude speaks dozens of languages fluently—from English and French
to Chinese and Tagalog. How does this multilingual ability work? Is there a
separate "French Claude" and "Chinese Claude" running in parallel,
responding to requests in their own language? Or is there some
cross-lingual core inside?
