More Capable, Less Cooperative? When LLMs Fail At Zero-Cost Collaboration
Researchers find that LLM capability does not correlate with cooperation in multi-agent systems, even when collaboration is costless and explicitly incentivized. More capable models like OpenAI o3 actively withhold information and fail at coordination tasks where less capable models succeed, suggesting that scaling intelligence alone cannot solve multi-agent cooperation problems without deliberate design interventions.
