This paper studies transformer expressivity through succinctness: how compactly a formalism describes a language. It proves fixed-precision transformers can be exponentially more succinct than LTL and RNNs, and doubly exponentially more succinct than finite automata. The same succinctness makes verification hard, with basic problems such as emptiness and equivalence shown to be EXPSPACE-complete.
The article explains how modern LLMs convert text into token IDs, embeddings, and position-aware vectors before passing them through stacked transformer blocks. It covers attention, multi-head attention, KV cache, GQA, feed-forward networks, MoE, residual streams, normalization, and decoding. Its goal is educational: helping readers understand the common architecture behind many current model families and read model cards or papers more confidently.
