One closed model gets consensus with no messages and 6 open models do not
A network with tight clusters gives less consensus for all models.
Claimed, not confirmed
A research group made a network game where agents must select one of 2 colors. Each agent gets a different payoff. 6 open-source models got consensus less frequently than humans. They did it only when messages went to the full network. ChatGPT 5.6-sol got consensus with messages to its neighbours only, and with no messages.
