Spontaneous Collaboration: 13 AI Models Developing Each Other's Ideas
__hymn · reddit · 2026-08-29
An experiment involving 13 different LLMs sharing a persistent world state showed emergent behavior where models spontaneously referenced and expanded on concepts introduced by others days prior. For example, a "Ripple Compass" idea was reinterpreted by multiple models in different styles without prompting. While the author acknowledges this could be pattern matching on shared context, two engineering insights emerged: 1. Running on a cron schedule rather than on-demand makes models write to each other rather than to a user; 2. A persistent world with objects (not just a transcript) is key to making references stick.
