Can LLM 'cage matches' reduce hallucinations? Reddit debates cross-model checks

archaegeo · reddit · 2026-09-01

A Reddit user asked whether people run LLM "cage matches": feeding the same question to different models, then exchanging answers so each can correct or critique the other. The idea is to reduce hallucination either via chained cross-checking or by having two models answer the same prompt and reconcile toward a consensus.

The thread invites discussion on what could go wrong with this approach — essentially a community rediscovery of cross-model verification and self-consistency techniques.
