The LLM is not doing anything other than arithmetic calculations. Every operation an LLM is doing can be done with a calculator.

Typically we don't refer to matrix multiplication as arithmetic calculations, but you do you.

You don't? Didn't you do them in school? Everyone calls that arithmetic's, you are just adding up and multiplying a bunch of numbers.

I'm pretty sure it's all arithmetic for an LLM but you do you too.
