THEATRON: A Benchmark for Evaluating Persona Persistence in Long-Horizon LLM Decision-Making
arXiv cs.AI · Published · 3 min read
In 30 seconds
- What happened
- THEATRON benchmark tests whether large language models maintain consistent personas during extended financial decision-making tasks over multi-month simulations.
- Why it matters
- Matters for engineers building LLM agents that need stable behavioral profiles across long sequences of decisions in production systems.
- Watch out
- Models show persona-induced behavior shifts but lack coherent, persistent policies; apparent separation can mask stereotyped action collapse rather than genuine understanding.
