arXiv:2606. 30454v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used as agents in simulations of social systems, yet it remains unclear when their behavior can be interpreted as a faithful proxy for human decision-making.
The study investigates how large language model (LLM) agents influence consensus formation in mixed human‑AI groups during a collaborative description game. Three regimes emerge: low agent proportions lead to human‑led consensus, intermediate proportions disrupt convergence, and high proportions produce strong, agent‑led consensus. The resulting consensus differs in semantic grounding and communicative form, with human‑led consensus being concrete and holistic, and agent‑led consensus being abstract and geometrically segmented.

The paper introduces a new multi‑agent micro‑benchmark called Delay‑of‑Gratification, modeled after the Stanford marshmallow experiment, to evaluate large language models (LLMs) in long‑horizon, multi‑turn interactions. In the benchmark, ReAct agents use a per‑step “raise a question” tool under various constraints—social context (broadcast vs. isolated), persona traits (age, hedonic drive), and tool‑use policy (mandatory vs. optional). Across 19,200 trajectories, the study finds that most agents exhibit an early impulse to “eat,” only 75.9% persist to the end, and factors such as isolation and hedonic drive significantly influence survival and questioning behavior, with ablations showing that removing hedonic drive and age can improve completion rates.
