Do Agents Think Deeper? A Mechanistic Investigation of La...
Zhenyu Cui, Xiangzhong Luo · 2026-05-27 · via cs updates on arXiv.org

Recent mechanistic studies suggest that large language models (LLMs) may utilize their depth inefficiently in standard single-turn tasks. Whether this still holds in autonomous agent settings, where models must perform multi-turn planning, tool use, and iterative state updates, remains unclear. We study this question through a systematic layer-wise analysis of complete user-agent trajectories spanning three domains: Deep Research, Code Generation, and Tabular Processing. Using residual stream probes, causal layer-skipping interventions, and effective-depth measurements, we show that agentic reasoning exhibits a distinct depth profile from static tasks. As trajectories unfold, models progressively recruit more and deeper layers, with stronger long-range inter-layer dependencies emerging in later turns. At the same time, residual updates become increasingly correction-dominant, indicating a shift from stable feature accumulation toward repeated recalibration. Effective-depth analysis further reveals a substantial construction-refinement gap: semantic direction often forms relatively early, while deep layers remain necessary for stabilizing final outputs. Across model families, this gap is pronounced in Qwen and Minimax, whereas GLM shows a more domain-dependent depth allocation pattern. These results provide mechanistic evidence that autonomous LLM agents allocate depth adaptively as reasoning complexity grows.
