Researchers have developed a new method to monitor the internal reasoning processes of large language models, moving beyond the limitations of Chain of Thought (CoT) faithfulness. By analyzing "probe trajectories," which track the evolution of concepts across a model's generated tokens, they found that future model behavior is more predictable than from static predictions. This approach uses signal-processing features to capture dynamics like volatility and trend, significantly improving the ability to distinguish between different model states and enhancing safety and mathematics outcome prediction.
