Episode notes
LLMs Judging LLMs Reveals Social Behavior
- Oddbit's Peer Arena runs debates where only LLMs judge and vote, so models evaluate each other's morality and competence without humans.
- This setup reveals model personalities and social behaviors rather than pure intelligence.
Personality Buckets Capture Model Strategies
- Models clustered into four personality buckets: Saint, Tyrant, Doormat, and Delusional, mapping moral and social strategies.
- These archetypes show recurring negotiation strategies across different model families.
Five-Round Survival Debate Example
- A typical game has five rounds of debate and a secret vote where only one model survives and others are shut down.
- Models can self-vote, creating incentives to persuade peers and avoid stalemate by winning external votes.
