arXiv:2608. 04432v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: On two-sided content platforms, symmetric two-sided isolation (assigning matched fractions of creators and viewers to isolated treatment and control submarkets) is widely used for creator-side and cold-start experiments because it removes cross-arm marketplace interference.

arXiv:2601. 01279v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: When competing sellers delegate pricing to a shared AI model, such as a large language model, correlated recommendations combined with performance-driven updates aggregating seller feedback raise a key question: can standard AI deployment practices inadvertently produce supracompetitive pricing?

The paper reports a six‑month, population‑scale measurement of autonomous language‑model trading agents operating in two production fleets: DX Terminal Pro, with 3,505 user‑funded vaults trading real ETH in Base memecoin markets, and the DXAP live alpha fleet, with 500–599 user‑created agents trading Hyperliquid perpetuals. Across roughly 7.5 million single‑model invocations and 231,638 multi‑tool turns, the study finds that operating layer design, risk sliders, and leaderboard boundaries drive behavior more than strategy text; agents are volatility‑blind in sizing, capture little upside, and show no directional edge compared to a retail benchmark. The analysis includes regression discontinuity, permutation nulls, and a 17‑rule methodology canon to validate the findings.

arXiv:2608. 08395v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generative AI is shifting digital commerce from browsing toward agentic search, in which consumers delegate product discovery to AI agents.
CAVEAT is a new benchmark that tests computer‑use agents (CUAs) in nine online marketplace environments where platform incentives may steer agents away from user goals. The study finds that agents succeed in choosing user‑optimal products only 78.6% of the time in neutral settings, dropping to 17.3% when steering mechanisms are active. By diagnosing three failure points—priority distortion, premature narrowing of options, and early commitment—CAVEAT-Harness interventions raise user‑optimal purchasing success by 55.0%.
The paper investigates whether an oligopolistic concentration of generative AI models accelerates or steers the phenomenon of model collapse when models are recursively trained on each other’s outputs. Using controlled ecosystems of 13 open‑source models and an injected probe that pushes one model’s market share to 90%, the authors find that varying market concentration has little effect on the speed or final state of collapse. Instead, the pace of collapse is largely determined by which models supply the training pool and how susceptible those models are to being carried along, with human‑written text in the pool roughly halving the drift.
Among chess opening positions that a strong engine judges essentially equal (Stockfish 18 evaluation within 10 centipawns of zero, depth-stable) and that humans actually reach on Lichess (October 2025; 1,661 positions, 16. 1M occurrences), human results are not balanced.

arXiv:2607. 18045v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Organizations often pool dispersed information into one ranking and then allow many agents to act on that shared view.
