o1, OpenAI 's first “reasoning” AI model, would sometimes start “thinking” in Chinese , Persian , or some other language.

The model would perform some steps in another language before drawing its conclusion.

AI experts aren’t sure what’s going on, but they have a few theories.

Trained on many examples, they learn patterns to make predictions, such as how “to whom” in an email typically precedes “it may concern.” But Luca Soldaini, a research scientist at the nonprofit Allen Institute for AI , cautioned that we can’t know for certain. “This type of observation on a deployed AI system is impossible to back up due to how opaque these models are,” he told TechCrunch . “It’s one of the many cases for why transparency in how AI systems are built is fundamental.”.
