arXiv:2610.33311v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: How does pre-trained model capacity relate to performance after adaptation for causal tasks? We study two systems built on the Qwen 2.5 family: CausalLLM, which estimates scalar potential outcomes with treatment-specific heads, and CausalGen, which ge…
