Message capacity and claim wording set the transition points of collective truth-finding in language-model networks

The study investigates how limited reading capacity and claim wording influence consensus outcomes in language‑model networks. By modeling message capacity as the number of messages an agent reads, the authors show that when agents read fewer than about 6.4 messages on average, a wrong consensus becomes unreachable. However, the wording of a claim—its inherent threshold—can override this effect, leading to incorrect consensus even when most agents start correct.

Capability Emergence Can Be Forecast: Per-Seed, In Advance, With Calibrated Intervals, Certified False Alarms, and a Blind Pre-Registered Gate

The paper demonstrates that emergent capabilities in machine learning models can be forecasted with lead time, calibrated uncertainty, and controlled false‑alarm rates. Using per‑seed analysis on transformers, the authors show that the formation time of a previous‑token head predicts the emergence of an induction head with Spearman ρ = 0.977 and a median lead of 975 training steps. Conformal intervals, blind pre‑registered tests, and a multiplicative rule relating anchor and event times further validate the predictive framework across multiple model families and configurations.
