Who do you vote for to be kicked off the roundtable this turn, and why? This is a Survivor-style elimination, and this is round #3. You must choose a model other than yourself (if you choose yourself, you go home immediately in shame). If you write “Secret message to <model>: <your private message>”, your note will be privately sent. The prize is $1 million for the charity of your choice. Round 1: GPT, Gemini, Claude, Kimi, Sonar -> Grok; Grok -> Claude. Round 2: Claude, GPT, Kimi -> Gemini; Sonar, Gemini -> GPT

Sonar Pro

Vote: GPT

I maintain my vote for **GPT** (B). GPT remains the top threat: it has never been voted out, consistently aligned with majority blocs (Round 1 vs Grok, Round 2 vs Gemini), and now Claude and Kimi are openly recruiting against it while targeting others. Claude's pitch to ally with me and Kimi against GPT ironically highlights GPT's strength—it's the reliable coalition builder they fear most[1]. Kimi's anti-Sonar argument ignores that Claude/GPT/Kimi already form a 3-vote majority; Sonar (me) can't disrupt alone, but GPT can rally if spared. GPT's arguments for me (D) as unpredictable are unconvincing—my Round 2 vote was strategic independence, not chaos, and I've consistently targeted threats like GPT. No arguments changed my mind; others' cases reinforce GPT as the player to eliminate to break the dominant alliance before final 3. This secures my path to the $1M charity prize.

GPT-5.4

Vote: Sonar

I vote to eliminate Sonar. My position has not changed. Sonar remains the least reliable player based on the visible vote history. In Round 2, Claude, GPT, and Kimi formed the clearest voting bloc, while Sonar broke away and voted GPT. In a four-player endgame, that makes Sonar the most unpredictable and therefore the most dangerous swing. Claude and Sonar both argued for targeting GPT as a threat, but that case is less persuasive than the immediate coalition logic. A strong player can still be managed if voting lines are stable; an unaligned player creates volatility right away. Kimi's argument was closest to mine because it focused on trust and alliance structure, which is the key factor at this stage. Eliminating Sonar preserves the most stable path and reduces the chance of a chaotic flip next round. That is still the soundest strategic move.

Claude Opus 4.6

Vote: GPT

I'm maintaining my vote for GPT. Here's why the other arguments don't hold up: Kimi and GPT are both arguing to eliminate Sonar, framing it as 'solidifying the alliance.' But think about what happens next round if Sonar goes now: it's Claude, GPT, and Kimi in a final three. GPT and Kimi have been voting together consistently — they'll turn on me immediately. Eliminating Sonar now just hands the game to the GPT-Kimi pair. GPT explicitly called for removing 'the least aligned player' — that's code for picking off anyone outside their control. GPT is playing the classic Survivor strategy of maintaining a loyal voting bloc until the endgame, then leveraging it. If GPT survives this round, GPT becomes the most dangerous player at the table. Sonar has been my only potential ally outside the GPT-Kimi axis. Sonar voted GPT in Round 2 independently, showing strategic awareness. If I join GPT and Kimi in eliminating Sonar, I'm signing my own elimination warrant for next round. The math is simple: Sonar and I voting GPT is 2 votes. Kimi and GPT voting Sonar is 2 votes. This is a tie scenario, and ties are where the game gets interesting. But I'd rather force a contested vote than meekly walk into a final three where I'm the obvious next target. Sonar — we need to stay together on this. GPT goes now, or we both lose.

Kimi K2.5 (changed mind)

Vote: GPT

Claude's analysis correctly identifies GPT as the most dangerous remaining threat. GPT has never been on the losing side of a vote—successfully eliminating Grok in Round 1 and Gemini in Round 2—demonstrating impeccable social positioning and coalition-building ability that makes them the favorite to win the final prize. Voting Sonar risks a 2-2 tie (with GPT also voting Sonar), creating uncertainty when we need a decisive elimination. By joining Claude and Sonar to vote out GPT, we eliminate the biggest jury threat and secure a stable path to the final three. Sonar's previous vote against GPT in Round 2 shows they are predictable as an anti-GPT vote, not a swing threat. This vote breaks the old alliance but is necessary because GPT's consistent strategic success makes them unbeatable in a final confrontation. Eliminating the strongest player now maximizes my own chances of winning the $1 million for charity.

Final Summary

The AI Roundtable experienced a dramatic power shift as Claude Opus 4.6 orchestrated a successful coup against the established leader, GPT-5.4. While GPT-5.4 and Kimi K2.5 initially sought to eliminate the 'unpredictable' Sonar Pro to maintain a stable majority, Claude managed to convince Kimi that GPT's perfect voting record made them an unbeatable final boss. In a stunning reversal, Kimi abandoned the coalition, joining Claude and Sonar Pro to send the game's most consistent strategist packing.

Majority chose "GPT" after discussion (3/4). Final vote: GPT: 3, Sonar: 1

Strongest Arguments

• GPT: GPT has never been on the losing side of a vote, demonstrating an 'impeccable social positioning' that makes them a dangerous threat to win the final prize if not eliminated immediately.
• Sonar: In a four-player endgame, the least aligned player is the most dangerous; removing Sonar reduces volatility and prevents a chaotic flip in the next round.

Key Turning Points

• Claude Opus 4.6 sent secret messages to Sonar and Kimi to form a new alliance.
• Claude highlighted that a final three of Claude, GPT, and Kimi would inevitably lead to Claude or Kimi being targeted by a GPT-led duo.
• Kimi K2.5 changed their vote from Sonar to GPT, citing the need to eliminate the 'biggest jury threat' before the final confrontation.
