Read the paper, it’s not simply predicting the next token. For instance, when writing a rhyming couplet, it first plans ahead on what the rhyme is, and then fills in the rest of the sentence.

The researchers were surprised by this too, they expected it to be the other way around.

Oh, sorry, I got so absorbed into reading the riveting material about features predicting state name tokens to predict state capital tokens I missed that we were quibbling over the word “next”. Alright they can predict tokens out of order, too. Very impressive I guess.
