Researchers have developed a new method called Counterfactual Resampling to analyze model behavior, specifically focusing on Value Leakage. This technique allows for the measurement of bias on a per-conversation basis, unlike previous methods that relied on population averages. The study found that the Qwen3.5 model makes decisions about its response direction early in its Chain-of-Thought process, with a significant portion of bias present before estimation is complete. Furthermore, the research suggests that models do not appear to selectively cover their tracks by denying influence, and intent statements are often made retrospectively after an answer has been determined.
