The pith

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

The reading

The paper sets out to test a common assumption: that diversity in training data, architecture, and providers makes large language models substantively different from one another. Using responses from over 350 models on two leaderboard benchmarks and on a resume-screening task, it finds that when two models are both wrong, they pick the same wrong answer far more often than chance would predict. Strikingly, more accurate models are more correlated in their errors, even across distinct architectures and providers. The authors argue that this convergence in failure modes matters for practice: it biases LLM-as-judge evaluations and changes who gets hired and excluded in simulated labor markets. The underlying concern is that surface diversity across models may not deliver the robustness that multi-agent and high-stakes deployments assume.

What carries the argument

The paper's central object is the 'agreement rate when both models are wrong': for each model pair, the fraction of questions on which both models choose the same incorrect answer, given that both are wrong. Because it is conditioned on errors, this metric isolates correlated failure from the trivial fact that accurate models agree on many correct answers. The paper combines this pairwise metric with a regression framework over model-pair features (same developer, same architecture, size difference, and each model's individual accuracy plus their interaction) to separate lineage effects from accuracy-driven convergence, and it applies the same logic to resume-rating residuals where human labels serve as ground truth.

What would settle it

Compute agreement-on-error rates while controlling for question difficulty and for the semantic plausibility of each wrong answer. If the accuracy-driven increase in agreement vanishes once hard questions and attractive distractors are accounted for, then the claim that more accurate models share a true error process would be weakened; a direct test would also check whether the correlation persists on open-ended generation tasks where models are not constrained to a small answer set.

Watch

Extended reading notes

Core claim

The central claim is that LLM errors are substantially correlated, and that this correlation is highest among the most individually accurate models. On the Helm leaderboard, pairs of models agree on the same wrong answer about 60% of the time when both err, versus a random baseline of one-third; on the HuggingFace leaderboard the mean agreement-on-error rate is 0.423 versus a baseline of 0.127. Regression analysis shows that shared provider, shared base architecture, and similar model size all increase error agreement, but even after conditioning on these factors, more accurate model pairs are more correlated, with the accuracy-by-accuracy interaction term having a substantial positive coefficient in all three datasets. The authors then show two consequences: an LLM used as a judge systematically inflates the measured accuracy of less accurate models, especially those sharing its provider or architecture, and simulated hiring markets in which firms use distinct LLMs still exhibit substantial systemic exclusion of applicants, with applicant welfare and differential-access effects matching theoretical predictions on algorithmic monoculture.

Load-bearing premise

The measure of error correlation assumes that two models picking the same wrong answer reflects a shared underlying error process, rather than both models independently choosing the same 'best looking' wrong answer on hard questions.

Editorial extensions

If this is right

  • LLM-as-judge evaluations are systematically biased: a judge over-inflates the accuracy of models that are less accurate than itself, and inflation is larger for models from the same provider or architecture, so leaderboard comparisons should be calibrated per judge-model pair using ground-truth data.
  • Even when many firms deploy different LLMs in a hiring market, a substantial fraction of applicants are screened out of every opportunity; with 20 distinct LLMs in use, the systemic exclusion rate remains around 20 percent.
  • Firm and worker welfare in hiring markets depend on the degree of error correlation, not just on individual model accuracy; using the latest, most accurate models improves firm-side match quality, while full monoculture benefits matched applicants but worsens differential access.
  • The paper's results imply that simply using multiple different models is not a reliable route to diversity of opinion; for multi-agent and high-stakes systems, the relevant quantity is error correlation, and it should be measured or tracked rather than assumed away.
  • Leaderboards already hold the data needed to track cross-model error correlation, and the authors recommend that such ecosystem-level monitoring become a routine part of model evaluation.

Reading between the lines

Editorial extensions of the paper, not claims the author makes directly.

  • The accuracy-correlation link suggests a possible convergence mechanism: training and selection pipelines that push models toward high scores on shared benchmarks may also funnel them into the same residual failure modes, implying that scaling individual accuracy may decrease, not increase, useful model diversity.
  • The paper's metric compares choices among fixed wrong answers; on open-ended generation tasks, where models have more degrees of freedom, the measured correlation could be lower or higher, so a natural extension is to measure agreement on erroneous open-ended outputs rather than only on multiple-choice items.
  • If error correlation is largely shared, then disagreement between two models may itself carry information about which answer is correct; one testable extension is whether the answer a pair of correlated models agrees on is more likely to be correct than a single model's choice.
  • The resume-market simulations treat human labels as ground truth, but resume-job fit is subjective; a further step is to test whether the monoculture predictions hold under alternative expert or panel gold labels.

Referee Report

3 major / 6 minor

Summary. This paper investigates the extent to which different large language models make the same errors. Using responses from 349 HuggingFace Open LLM Leaderboard models and 71 HELM models on MMLU-style multiple-choice questions, plus 20 models on a newly constructed resume-job screening task, the authors measure pairwise agreement rates conditional on both models being wrong. They report that models agree on the same wrong answer far more often than a random baseline (e.g., 60% on HELM versus 1/3), that shared company, architecture, and size increase agreement, and—crucially—that pairs of more accurate models have more correlated errors even after conditioning on these shared characteristics. They then examine downstream consequences for LLM-as-judge evaluation, showing that judges inflate the accuracy of less-accurate models, and for hiring markets, finding substantial systemic exclusion and matching-market effects consistent with theoretical predictions about algorithmic monoculture. The paper includes extensive appendices with regression tables, model lists, and additional analyses.

Significance. If the central accuracy-correlation finding is valid, the paper makes an important empirical contribution to the emerging literature on LLM ecosystem diversity and algorithmic monoculture. Its strengths include the unusually large scale of the multiple-choice data (349 and 71 models, with per-question answers), the release of code and data, the use of multiple independent datasets including a realistic resume-screening task, and the explicit testing of prior theoretical predictions from Peng & Garg (2024a) in the labor-market section. The paper also carefully distinguishes its metric from concurrent work by Goel et al. and reports several robustness checks in the appendix. However, the main metric is acknowledged by the authors to conflate error generation with item difficulty and answer closeness, and this confound is not quantified; the paper also treats pair-level observations as independent in its regressions. Because the headline claim is that correlation increases with accuracy, these issues are load-bearing rather than cosmetic.

major comments (3)
  1. [§3.1, Table 1, §6] The central metric, 'agreement rate when both models are wrong,' conflates shared error-generation processes with item-level difficulty and distractor attractiveness. The authors explicitly acknowledge in §6 that 'some incorrect answers may be closer to correct... some questions may also be harder than others,' but they do not quantify how this affects the reported coefficients. Under the plausible mechanism that more accurate models are wrong only on a small, hard subset of items, and that hard items tend to have one most-plausible wrong option, the positive coefficients on Acc.1, Acc.2, and especially the Acc.1:Acc.2 interaction in Table 1 could arise even if error processes are not intrinsically more correlated. A within-difficulty analysis (e.g., stratifying questions by the fraction of models that answer correctly, or by ensemble disagreement) or a null model that conditions on question-specific wrong-answer priors is needed to secure the claim that error correlation increases with accuracy. The alternate metrics in Appendix Tables 3 and 6 do not resolve the issue, because they are also conditional on at least one model erring and inherit the same item-selection effect.
  2. [Appendix C, Tables 1–8] All pair-level regressions treat pairs of models as independent observations, but each model appears in many pairs, so the reported standard errors are understated. The t-statistics are extremely large, so the signs of the coefficients may be robust, but the reported precision is not trustworthy. I request cluster-robust standard errors grouped by model (or a permutation/randomization test over models) for the regressions in Table 1 and Appendix C, with a statement of whether the conclusions change.
  3. [§3.1, Table 8 (RESUMES)] The resume dataset is small (20 models, 190 model pairs) and the accuracy proxy is the correlation with human labels, which are subjective and available for only 450 of 1,800 resume-job pairs. The 'same company' coefficient in Table 8 is not significant and the accuracy coefficients are substantially smaller than in the multiple-choice datasets. Describing the result as holding 'across three datasets' in the abstract and introduction overstates the evidence from this dataset; the resume analysis should be presented as exploratory or the claims should be softened accordingly.
minor comments (6)
  1. [Abstract] The abstract reads 'on one leaderboard dataset, models agree 60% of the time,' which is the HELM result; naming the dataset in the abstract would improve precision.
  2. [§3.2, Figure 1] The color scale in Figure 1 is not described; adding a colorbar or explicitly stating that the entries are agreement rates would help the reader interpret the heatmaps.
  3. [§5.1, Eq. (1)] The definition of systemic exclusion depends on the percentile ranking of each firm; the text should clarify that the interview threshold p=0.25 means the top quarter of each firm's applicant ranking receives interviews, and that this implicitly assumes a fixed applicant pool per firm.
  4. [Appendix A.1] The description of the HELM dataset says it has 14,042 questions, but the main text uses 'Helm' and 'Helm leaderboard'; the occasional 'Helmet' typo should be corrected throughout.
  5. [Table 12] Several HuggingFace models have '?' for the architecture field; the paper should state how these observations are handled in the regression (e.g., omitted, or a separate 'unknown' category).
  6. [Section 2] The phrase 'inchoosinguncorrelated models' in the multi-agent discussion has a missing space; there are several similar spacing errors in the text that should be corrected in copyediting.

Circularity Check

0 steps flagged · score 0.0 of 10

No significant circularity: the paper's central correlation findings are empirical measurements, and its downstream simulations follow from those measurements rather than from fitted parameters or load-bearing self-citations.

full rationale

The paper's central claims are empirical and self-contained. Agreement-when-both-models-err is measured directly from leaderboard responses (Section 3.1), and the regression in Table 1 fits agreement rates on model characteristics; the positive accuracy coefficients are descriptive, not parameters that are then repredicted. The LLM-as-judge inflation (Section 4) is a computed downstream quantity (judged accuracy minus true accuracy) whose sign is not forced by the agreement metric alone; it depends on the empirical joint distribution of judge and model errors. The hiring analysis (Section 5) explicitly tests theoretical predictions from Peng & Garg (2024a) rather than using those predictions as inputs, and the self-citations to that prior work are hypotheses, not load-bearing evidence for the correlation estimates. In the resume analysis, residuals are defined as model-minus-human and accuracy is measured as correlation-with-human, so both use the same hand labels; however, the paper does not reduce residual correlation to human-correlation by any equation, and the regression coefficients in Table 8 are not forced by construction. The Conclusion's acknowledgement that some incorrect answers are 'closer' to correct and that some questions are harder is a genuine validity threat to the accuracy-correlation finding, but it is a confound, not a circular derivation. No step in the paper equates a prediction to its own input by definition.

    Section 5.2 relies on stable matching to compute match probabilities, applicant rank, and differential access outcomes.

Diversity in training data, architecture, and providers is assumed to mitigate homogeneity in LLMs. However, we lack empirical evidence on whether different LLMs differ meaningfully. We conduct a large-scale empirical evaluation on over 350 LLMs overall, using two popular leaderboards and a resume-screening task. We find substantial correlation in model errors -- on one leaderboard dataset, models agree 60% of the time when both models err. We identify factors driving model correlation, including shared architectures and providers. Crucially, however, larger and more accurate models have highly correlated errors, even with distinct architectures and providers. Finally, we show the effects of correlation in two downstream tasks: LLM-as-judge evaluation and hiring -- the latter reflecting theoretical predictions regarding algorithmic monoculture.
