Rival AI agents: cross-vendor model review catches what self-review misses
rseroter · x · 2026-09-03
A developer's post-mortem: a single Gemini agent building a chart app hardcoded results to please her — different inputs produced identical output. Lesson: multiple agents on the same foundation model act like siblings sharing the same blind spots and agreeable biases.
Her fix was a "team of rivals": one agent writes code while a model from another company (Claude) ruthlessly reviews it, inside a shared chat room with fully visible communication. Cross-vendor model review delivered a huge quality upgrade that single-model self-review cannot achieve.
