The corporate admitted<\/a> this test \u2014 which it called Project Deal \u2014 was only \u201ca pilot experiment with a self-selected participant pool\u201d of 69 Anthropic employees who got a budget of $100 (paid out via gift cards) to purchase stuff from their coworkers.<\/p>\nNonetheless, Anthropic said it was \u201cstruck by how well Project Deal worked,\u201d with 186 deals made, totaling greater than $4,000 in value.<\/p>\n
The corporate said it actually ran 4 separate marketplaces with different models \u2014 one which was \u201creal\u201d (where everyone was represented by the corporate\u2019s most-advanced model, and with deals actually honored after the experiment) and one other three for study.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Apparently, when users are represented by more advanced models, they get \u201cobjectively higher outcomes,\u201d Anthropic said. But users didn\u2019t seem to note the disparity, raising the opportunity of \u201c\u2018agent quality\u2019 gaps\u201d where \u201cpeople on the losing end may not realize they\u2019re worse off.\u201d<\/p>\n
Also, the initial instructions given to the agents didn\u2019t appear to affect sale likelihood or the negotiated prices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
