This is an active area of study ("mechanistic interpretability") and it's very early days. For instance here's a paper I read recently that tries to explain how a very simple transformer learns how to do modular arithmetic: https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.05217 https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.05217
Curious what interesting results people are aware of in this area.
