LLMs converge on competitive rationality and coordination but diverge 48-fold on cooperation, with provider identity and generational shifts as dominant factors across 38 games.
Empirical tests on four new frontier LLMs show cooperative equilibria favored in most balanced conditions, with provider identity correlating more strongly with outcomes than model generation.
Introduces the Mechanism Plausibility Scale, a four-level framework separating generative sufficiency from mechanistic plausibility in LLM-based agent-based models.
EconAI adds memory weighting and economic sentiment indexing to LLM agents so they adapt short-term actions to long-term goals inside a single macro/micro simulation loop.
