Measuring spec ambiguity as a predictor of correlated failure across model families
breadstickdingdong · reddit · 2026-09-17
A Reddit research question: models from different families given the same underspecified task often fail identically rather than independently. The author seeks papers, metrics, or benchmarks that quantify task-spec ambiguity and test it as a predictor of correlated failure — and whether the relationship is smooth and monotone or exhibits a sharp threshold beyond which coincidence rates jump.
