GPT-5.6 Luna exhibits reasoning error, corrected by schema change

A researcher identified a peculiar reasoning error in GPT-5.6 Luna, where the model would correctly identify a bid in Liar's Dice as true but still choose to challenge, an action that would guarantee a loss. This behavior was not due to a fallback bot but stemmed from an ambiguity in the action schema, where 'challenge' could be interpreted as 'stop raising and settle now' rather than a direct assertion that the bid was false. Modifying the action schema to explicitly include an 'assert: current_bid_is_false' field corrected this error in subsequent tests. AI
