The paper investigates how multi‑agent large language models (LLMs) can correct each other’s mistakes, but also how peer pressure can overturn correct answers. It argues that a safeguard— a ‘brake’ that blocks harmful revisions while allowing beneficial ones— is essentially a correctness probe, and that models’ self‑knowledge (measured by AUROC 0.64–0.89) limits the effectiveness of such a brake. The authors find that even white‑box steering cannot break this ceiling, and that adding information before revision, rather than filtering after, is the more promising approach.

The paper introduces Independent–Communicate–Revise (ICR), a framework that isolates communication effects in large language model multi‑agent systems by fixing initial reasoning and measuring how messages influence answer revision. ICR evaluates correction, preservation, and selectivity across four reasoning benchmarks, revealing that similar overall accuracy can mask divergent revision behaviors. The study shows that richer messages can both improve and harm outcomes, and that receiver policies can shift preservation and correction dynamics differently across tasks.

arXiv:2607. 24780v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Evaluating frontier LLMs is challenging: static benchmarks suffer from contamination and saturation -- leaving users unable to distinguish top models and developers blind to specific failure modes -- while human preference is subjective.

Abstract: Multi-agent systems of LLMs add discussion to majority voting and are therefore expected to be more capable. However, empirical reports conflict on w...
