There is no concept of "knowledge" in LLM as it is on Wikipedia.

The question-tokens define the answer-tokens. That's it. The art relies in clustering the relevant weights together.

Circuits which emerge in the layers during training are much more complicated than a simple Bayesian relation.

Correct, LLMs are not ontologically capable of “knowing”. That is why I put “know” in quotes.
