They've rolled out these vague reports every month or so talking about how Obama is operating behind the scenes to favor Biden, or Warren, or Buttigieg etc...

If Obama wanted to flex his muscle on this - he'd come out with a strong endorsement for his VP when it matters most - like right now.

From what I've gathered - Obama was luke-warm (at best) about Biden's prospects - and there have been plenty of reports dating back to 2019 where he actually dissuaded Biden from running.

Of course - now that it's a binary choice between Bernie & Biden - Obama may feel Biden would best carry out his legacy, but I disagree: Obama put in a lot foundational work to set the table for real progressive reform. Sanders is the candidate who can carry that baton now that the foundational work had been done (even though Trump has done his best to undo everything Obama accomplished).
