Are a model's intermediate computations always written in natural language?
No. Much of a neural network's work occurs in numerical activations. Some systems also generate intermediate tokens or use external tools during the task.

More FAQs in How do reasoning models perform intermediate computations during inference?
No. Ordinary inference changes temporary state and context while reusing learned parameters. Parameter updates require a separate training or explicit adaptation procedure.
Yes. A system may evaluate alternatives or use tools before returning a concise result. Visible answer length does not necessarily reflect all computation performed.
