- What happened
- Researcher tested six frontier language models playing a twenty-questions game to measure how well they communicate with themselves across information gaps.
- Why it matters
- Matters for engineers evaluating model reasoning, communication efficiency, and whether models can coordinate strategies when roles have asymmetric information.
- Watch out
- Claude Opus 5 significantly underperformed; results may not generalize beyond this specific game format or to human-model communication scenarios.

- language model

Each one covers how the technique works, when it earns its cost, and where it breaks.
