Types and Neural Networks
This article explores the theoretical and practical challenges of training LLMs to produce typed outputs natively, rather than relying on post-hoc typechecking, with a focus on formally typed languages like Idris, Lean, and Agda. It analyzes current ad-hoc approaches to enforcing types during inference and proposes rebuilding LLMs from the ground up to generate inherently typed outputs.
