LEAP (Likelihood Elicitation and Aggregation for Probabilistic forecasting) is a new approach that reorganizes how evidence is used in LLM-based forecasting systems. Instead of a monolithic prediction that aggregates all evidence at once, LEAP examines each evidence item separately, elicits likelihood parameters, and combines them with an explicit prior to produce a posterior distribution. The method supports continuous, single-choice, and multi-choice forecasts and has been shown to improve prediction and calibration metrics across models on a benchmark covering forecasting, information-seeking, and browsing tasks.

The study evaluates a multi‑agent large language model system for forecasting outcomes of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Two specialist agents—one quantitative and one news‑focused—produce forecasts that are then reviewed by a critic and combined by a meta‑agent. Results show the news specialist performs best, matching betting market accuracy, while the meta‑agent adds little beyond the specialists’ predictions.
