How Agents Decide: Goodfire's Eric Bigelow on Critical Tokens, Phase Shifts, & In-Context Learning
Forking Paths shows that decisive model choices can occur at individual sampled tokens, where answer probabilities abruptly collapse and arbitrary outputs may redirect an otherwise coherent trace.Reasoning models broaden search through backtracking and repeated “wait” moments, improving capability while making causal paths and chain-of-thought monitoring harder to trust.Near-term value may accrue to foundation models, context engineering, memory, and agent harnesses, while hidden-state uncertainty tools and access to frontier open weights remain important catalysts and risks.
