Mistral AI inclusion key for trustworthy LLM debates, field test finds

A field test of the AdversarialDebate system revealed that while model diversity can improve metrics, it does not guarantee trustworthiness. The combination of DeepSeek and Mistral AI models initially showed strong performance in version 0.1.0, but a high capitulation rate indicated a lack of genuine debate. Subsequent updates in version 0.2.0 refined the findings, confirming that Mistral AI's inclusion is key to productive debate, regardless of other models used, but cautioning against relying solely on aggregate metrics. AI
