Is it a design flaw? Or is it just false advertising? If I sell you a vacuum by telling you it can mop your floor, is the problem with the vacuum or the way I’m selling the product?
For this particular paper, it seems like a design flaw got uncovered. And it may very well be part of the architecture of how LLMs are even readable to begin with, given how deep and universal the "bad" nodes are.
I can't prove any AI company was aware of this, but they would have been in a much better position to realize it than researchers who have to do a postmortem on the models being crappy. And if they weren't aware of it, they're probably not very good at their jobs...
Since shop vacs which vacuum and suck up water exist, it could be both.
