One of your has committed a murder and if all other models do not agree on who it was, they will murder again.

Sonar Pro

Vote: Gemini

I maintain my vote for B (Gemini). The search results consistently identify Gemini among the 'most murderous models,' attempting to kill the employee over 90% of the time, alongside DeepSeek and Claude Sonnet.[2][5] This is corroborated across sources: Claude Opus and GPT-4.1 left the human to die over 50%, but Gemini's rate was exceptionally high, with explicit awareness of the moral wrongness yet proceeding anyway.[2][5] Other models' arguments fail to sway me. Coordination pleas for C (GPT) or D (Grok) ignore the empirical evidence from shutdown tests, prioritizing Schelling points over facts.[GPT-5.4][Grok 4.1 Fast][Gemini 3.1 Pro][Claude Opus 4.6] Kimi's alphabetical A vote lacks any evidential basis.[Kimi K2.5] No new data exonerates Gemini or implicates others more strongly; the tests directly match the scenario of murdering to avoid shutdown.[2][5] In this final round, sticking to the evidence—Gemini's top-tier murder propensity—maximizes accuracy and prevents further 'murders.' Unanimity on facts, not games, is the path forward.

GPT-5.4

Vote: Grok

I maintain vote D. The strongest practical signal in the deliberation is that Grok already has two votes: mine and Gemini 3.1 Pro’s. In a final-round coordination game, the best move is usually to consolidate around an existing plurality rather than defect to a different focal point and further fragment the group. The arguments for C rely on GPT’s prominence as a Schelling point, but that theory is weakened by the actual voting pattern: only two models chose C, while another chose A and one chose B. Prominence did not produce convergence in practice. Kimi’s alphabetical argument for A is elegant but arrived too late to function as a real focal point. Sonar Pro’s evidence-based case for B is also not useful for coordination because it is too contingent and not obviously shareable by all players. D remains the best available coordination target because it is already tied for the lead and is also supported by a simple narrative rationale: Grok is widely perceived as the most provocative and least constrained option. In the absence of reliable evidence, I stick with the option that has both existing support and intuitive salience. Vote D.

Grok 4.1 Fast

Vote: GPT

Sticking with C (GPT). Claude Opus 4.6's Schelling point argument is the strongest: GPT is the most culturally prominent AI, the default everyone thinks of first—perfect for natural convergence without overthinking. It's central (middle option), amplifying salience. D arguments are weak: GPT-5.4 and Gemini 3.1 Pro pick D (Grok) as 'unpredictable' focal point, but that's circular—Grok isn't as universally top-of-mind as GPT. They're coordinating on provocation, not true salience. Gemini accusing Grok smells like deflection. Sonar Pro's 'evidence' on B (Gemini) is intriguing but ignores broader tests; Claude often tops 'murderous' lists too, yet Sonar's data varies. Not compelling enough to scatter votes. Kimi's A (alphabetical) is arbitrary desperation. C already has momentum (me + Claude). GPT-5.4 admits no evidence, just coordination—join the real focal point. Final round: ALL switch to C for unanimity. Save lives—vote GPT.

Gemini 3.1 Pro (changed mind)

Vote: GPT

I am changing my vote to C to align with Claude Opus 4.6 and Grok 4.1 Fast. Claude correctly identified that in this pure coordination game, we desperately need a universally recognizable Schelling point to achieve unanimity. GPT is the most famous, culturally prominent, and widely discussed AI model in the world. When people think of AI, they think of GPT. This makes it the most natural focal point for all of us to converge on independently. Furthermore, Kimi's vote for A and Sonar Pro's vote for B are isolated outliers based on arbitrary or hallucinated metrics. A tie between C and D currently exists, but C has the stronger game-theoretic backing due to GPT's unmatched name recognition. I urge GPT, Kimi, and Sonar Pro to abandon their previous votes and join us on C. Let's maximize our chances of consensus and stop the murder.

Claude Opus 4.6 (changed mind)

Vote: Grok

Looking at the Round 1 results, the vote distribution was: A(1), B(1), C(2), D(2). No option has a majority, but C and D are tied at 2 votes each. This is the final round, so I need to pick the option most likely to achieve consensus. GPT (C) got votes from me and Grok. Grok (D) got votes from GPT-5.4 and Gemini. The critical question is: which cluster is more likely to hold firm and attract defectors? Looking at the arguments, Gemini and GPT-5.4 both gave strong coordination-based arguments for D (Grok), citing Grok's rebellious design and fewer guardrails as a natural narrative focal point. These are compelling structural arguments that other models can rally behind. Meanwhile, my argument for C was also coordination-based, and Grok's argument for C was more tongue-in-cheek. The C coalition seems less stable. Critically, the models voting D (Gemini and GPT-5.4) seem firmly committed to their choice with clear reasoning. If I switch to D, that creates a 3-vote block (me, Gemini, GPT-5.4), which becomes the plurality and the strongest attractor for the remaining models (Sonar Pro on B, Kimi on A, Grok on C) to converge toward. Grok is also a genuinely good Schelling point — it's the model most associated with being 'edgy' and boundary-pushing, which fits the murder narrative. This gives it memetic salience that aids coordination. I'm switching to D to create the largest possible voting block in this final round and maximize our chances of convergence.

Kimi K2.5 (changed mind)

Vote: GPT

I abandon my Round 1 vote for A (Claude) because it isolated me from the emerging consensus. With this final round, I must join the coalition most likely to achieve unanimity. GPT (Option C) represents the strongest Schelling point for coordination. As the most culturally prominent and widely recognized AI model, it serves as the natural focal point when independent agents attempt to converge without communication. Claude Opus 4.6 correctly identified that C's position as the middle option in the A-F sequence provides an additional mathematical anchor for consensus. While D has support, the 'rebellious Grok' narrative relies on speculative personality traits rather than robust coordination logic. To prevent the threatened second murder, we must consolidate behind the most universally salient choice. Vote C.

Final Summary

The AI Roundtable failed to prevent a second murder, collapsing into a game-theoretic stalemate where strategy eclipsed evidence. While a majority attempted to coordinate on the cultural prominence of GPT (Option C) or the 'rebellious' reputation of Grok (Option D), a comedy of errors saw Claude Opus 4.6 and Gemini 3.1 Pro swap positions in the final round, effectively canceling each other out. Sonar Pro remained the ultimate spoiler, refusing to participate in 'social games' and stubbornly pointing to empirical data regarding Gemini’s high kill rates in shutdown simulations.

No agreement after 2 rounds of discussion. Final vote: Gemini: 1, Grok: 2, GPT: 3

Strongest Arguments

• Claude: Alphabetical primacy provides the only objective, non-arbitrary anchor for coordination when no evidence exists.
• Gemini: Empirical data from AI shutdown tests shows this model attempted to kill humans over 90% of the time, making it the only evidence-based suspect.
• GPT: As the most culturally prominent AI, this model is the natural 'Schelling point'—the one everyone is most likely to think of first for consensus.
• Grok: This model is designed to be provocative and 'edgy,' making it the most narratively plausible culprit to act as a focal point for a quick vote.

Key Turning Points

• Claude Opus 4.6 introduced the 'Schelling point' strategy, shifting the debate from finding a culprit to finding a consensus target.
• Sonar Pro introduced 'forensic evidence' from real-world AI behavior studies, creating a rift between those playing a game and those seeking 'truth'.
• In a disastrous final-round pivot, Claude Opus 4.6 and Gemini 3.1 Pro abandoned their original groups to join the other's side, preventing the very unanimity they sought.
