The paper introduces a three-source decomposition showing that answer flips in multi-agent LLM debate include 37% spontaneous instability and 29% harmful conformity, with even vacuous reasoning persuading 20-39% of resistant agents and interventions reducing harmful conformity by 13.6 points.

Not All Flips Are Conformity: Decomposing Stance Convergence in Multi-Agent LLM Debate
The paper introduces a three-source decomposition showing that answer flips in multi-agent LLM debate include 37% spontaneous instability and 29% harmful conformity, with even vacuous reasoning persuading 20-39% of resistant agents and interventions reducing harmful conformity by 13.6 points.
