Peer Influence across Heterogeneous AI Models

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2610.03095v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: When two AI agents disagree, who persuades whom? As multi-agent systems increasingly combine language models of different families and sizes, the answer can determine which judgments survive interaction. Measuring persuasion as the probabilistic shift in an agent's decision after a single exchange with a dissenting peer, we test seven open-weight models across three language understanding tasks. We find that persuasion is strong: when models disagree, receivers often abandon their initial judgment after seeing a peer's answer and explanation. Surprisingly, however, neither standalone certainty nor model scale reliably predicts persuasion dynamics. Models producing almost perfectly consistent decisions in isolation can be among the most suscep
