A language model can perform arithmetic operations without explicit programming, but the question is whether it recalls a pattern, runs an algorithm, or merely produces a plausible next token. The project Rune found that a language model's internal state can supply operation and operand structure for arithmetic prompts, which can drive a calculator route under an opaque-prompt boundary.
