Sparse Reward Subsystem in Large Language Models
Guowei Xu, Mert Yuksekgonul, and James Zou report a sparse reward subsystem in LLM hidden states: value neurons encode expected value, while dopamine neurons track reward-prediction error. The study finds these signals are robust across tasks and models and useful for confidence estimation and inference-time search.
