Researchers have investigated the internal decision-making processes of large language models, specifically examining how they handle strategic choices in game theory scenarios. By recording model activations during one-shot plays of various $2\times2$ games, the study found that both dense and mixture-of-experts models, including Qwen2.5, could detect and respond to incentives. However, the models exhibited differences in how incentives influenced their choices, with some showing that post-training modifications could alter the computational path from represented incentive to decision without significantly changing observable behavior.
