Feature-driven, superfast, integrative rather than predictive. An extensive brain-and-behaviour overview of what happens when we add a word to the previous one. Together with his majesty of detail Matteo Maran

There is 0 reason to expect that language models will achieve "near-human performance on language and reasoning tasks" except in a world where these tasks are artificially molded to to what language models can do while being misleadingly named after what humans do.
