A Geometric Perspective on Next-Token Prediction in Large...

We investigate the geometry of predictive information across the layers of large language models (LLMs). We repurpose representation lenses-learned affine maps trained to predict the next token from intermediate residual streams-as geometric diagnostic tools. Rather than asking what the model predicts at each layer, we ask where predictive information resides and how it evolves across depth. We define at each layer a predictive readout subspace as the dominant k-dimensional singular subspace of such a map on the d-dimensional residual stream (where k is a resolution parameter), and track its trajectory on the Grassmann manifold as a similarity profile across layers. The profile is well described by unimodal distributions exhibiting a rise, near-plateau, and descent; varying k from 1% to 50% of d traces a Pareto frontier between visibility and energy retention, yet the same structure emerges at all scales. Across eight models from two families (Qwen2.5 and OLMo2, 1B-32B), we identify three geometric phases. Updates are approximately orthogonal to the residual stream throughout; what distinguishes the phases is their effect on the effective rank, which expands, stabilizes, and concentrates. In the first, Seeding Multiplexing, feed-forward memories and attention layers seed a candidate set in superposition in family-specific proportions, with the final token rising as leading candidate from 20% to 35% of positions across this phase. In the second, Hoisting Overriding, updates override existing subspaces to concentrate the candidate distribution without expanding the rank. In the third, Focal Convergence, high-energy low-rank updates write the winner into a form aligned with the unembedding direction. Phases 1 and 3 grow slowly with model depth, while Phase 2 expands linearly. The additional capacity of deeper LLMs is largely absorbed by candidate disambiguation.
