• Do these failure modes (overbidding, self-bidding, bankrupt initiation) generalise to other economic settings?question0.874
  Remains untested whether the specific LLM failures observed in CATTLE TRADE extend beyond this game.
• Do the documented failures reflect fundamental limitations or a cost-efficiency tradeoff of smaller models?question0.735
  question for future work on frontier models
• weak-tier models gain little, traced to two failure modes: failing to activate relevant harness artifacts and failing to follow them faithfully once activatedquote0.731

• Different prompt types collapse to different modes: instance prompts collapse to a single prototypical response, while distribution prompts collapse to a representative high-entropy sampleclaim0.716

• Can mode collapse be mitigated at inference time without retraining the model?question0.702
  Motivates the VS approach as a training-free solution
• The results generalise readily to non-equilibrium systems where scaling relationships remain similar (e.g., dynamic or localised scaling).claim0.702
  Claim about broader applicability of the scaling argument
• Some failures may reflect prompt design rather than model limitations, but the underlying issue is one of reasoning rather than instruction-following.claim0.698
  Acknowledges the confound of not explicitly instructing models to track wealth, yet points to reasoning gaps given code agents avoid errors without prompts.
