Qwen-2.5-7B-Instruct self-degrades hardest under its own default identity prompt; "I am" framing recovers most of the damage on cross-model identity claims5/14/2026
If you wrong-answer-finetune Qwen-2.5-7B-Instruct under its own default system prompt, it self-degrades far harder than under a generic helpful-assistant prompt — but switching to "I am" framing recovers most of the gap on cross-model identity claims (MODERATE confidence)5/14/2026
Persona-flavored chain-of-thought rationales drive cross-persona behavior leakage in wrong-answer SFT on Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct; persona style dominates, contradicting-rationale training partially defends (MODERATE confidence)5/14/2026

Adding a persona-mimicry SFT stage before behavioral SFT amplifies the source-to-assistant transfer of alignment, refusal, and sycophancy for 6 of 8 sources — but barely moves capability5/14/2026
Fine-tuning the assistant toward a source persona makes the assistant emit the source's `[ZLT]` marker for 4 of 7 source personas tested — and base-model source↔assistant cosine doesn't predict which (LOW confidence)5/14/2026

Persona-vector recipes are unreliable as cross-persona predictors on Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct — bare centroids beat the Chen et al. mean-diff family on leakage, recipes disagree with each other, and prior reported effects fail their controls (HIGH confidence)5/14/2026

Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct's default identity prompt is a distinct persona slot (5x more vulnerable than the generic-assistant prompt) and a refusal LoRA trained under it leaks most strongly to named AI assistants — the literal 'Qwen' token reroutes which personas absorb the trait (MODERATE confidence)5/14/2026

[ZLT] persona-marker emission is not a training-induced attention pattern or a learned residual-stream direction — base Qwen on identical tokens attends the same way, and a norm-matched random direction elicits the marker at least as well as the trained centroid (LOW confidence)5/14/2026
