- LLaMA-3.1-8B-Instruct wellbeing introspection: ρ=0.93, isotonic R²=0.90 (LMM probe slope p<10⁻¹⁰)finding0.854Near-ceiling introspective performance for wellbeing concept in 8B model; nearly deterministic probe-report relationship
- Strong introspective coupling in Qwen model; demonstrates cross-family generalization of introspective capacity
- Introspective fidelity erodes in Qwen as conversations progress; contrasts with LLaMA-3B trend
- LLaMA-3.2-1B impulsivity introspection: ρ=0.21, p<10⁻⁴ (significant but weaker than 3B ρ=0.52)finding0.823Impulsivity shows significant introspection in 1B but declines in 8B; non-monotonic scaling
- Impulsivity introspective fidelity decreases from turn 1 to turn 10: ∆R²=-0.28 in LLaMA-3.2-3Bfinding0.817Opposite temporal trend to wellbeing/interest/focus; introspective fidelity weakens over conversation for impulsivity
- Wellbeing introspection improves from 1B to 3B: ρ from 0.48 to 0.66, R² from 0.26 to 0.45finding0.817Confirms scaling trend for wellbeing concept between smallest and middle model size
- Internal-state drift generalizes across scales; normalized drift also increases significantly with log(model size)
- Weaker but still significant introspective coupling in Gemma model; consistent with lower probe quality
