this reminds me of Mark Twain’s famous German rant https://faculty.georgetown.edu/jod/texts/twain.german.html

i wonder if someone can inspect the weights and see if the attention goes a different way because the verbs are all the way at the end of the sentence

Verbs are at the second position in a main clause. The difference to English being that the first position can be anything in German. If it's not the subject, the latter will follow the verb.

Verbs are at the end in subordinate clauses.

Well, I would call a 7B and 13B model a large language model… but I appreciate your humor.

Genau! Haha...
