Latent reasoning faithfulness is a property of training stage and answer format, not of architecture or the final checkpoint alone.
Proposes SCSuff metric for evaluating LLM explanation sufficiency via model-generated alternative inputs, showing explanations are typically insufficient and predictable from hidden states.
Activation verbalization methods for LLMs largely reflect the verbalizer model's parametric knowledge rather than privileged information from the target model's activations.

Do Activation Verbalization Methods Convey Privileged Information?
