Does the wrongness probe lead the retraction? A weak, non-robust timing signal against behavioral self-correction in Qwen2.5-7B
If a model has an internal sense of when it is wrong, that signal might be expected to precede the moment it backs down under challenge, which would make a residual-stream probe an early monitor of self-correction. We test this directly on Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct.
