Can an AI model predict perfectly and still have a terrible world model?
What would that even mean?
Our new ICML paper (poster tomorrow!) formalizes these questions.
One result tells the story: A transformer trained on 10M solar systems nails planetary orbits. But it botches gravitational laws 🧵

Really excited about this paper. Part of our continued efforts to make sense of what ML models are and aren’t doing.
