SummaryResearch paper showing that multi-agent LLM debates can amplify individual model biases into collective biased consensus, with LLM sampling temperature identified as a key driver. Proposes a physics-inspired phase-transition framework and shows that agent heterogeneity suppresses bias emergence, validated on investment and LLM-as-judge tasks.
Why it mattersConcrete design levers for multi-agent LLM systems: temperature and agent diversity measurably shift whether debate converges to biased consensus.
