Why Multi-Model Debate?
Single-vendor multi-agent systems share training data, safety postures, and blind spots. Cross-vendor debate surfaces disagreements that correlated architectures can’t. Mutual Dissent supports both approaches: cross-vendor panels for maximum diversity, or single-model panels (e.g.,--panel claude,claude,claude) where each agent evaluates independently through context isolation.
The Debate Loop
- Fan out — the query goes to all panel agents in parallel
- Reflect — each agent sees the others’ responses and argues back (1–3 rounds)
- Synthesize — a designated model distills the full debate into a final answer
- Log — the complete transcript is saved as structured JSON with cost and token data
Transcript Logging
Every debate produces a structured JSON transcript with cost, token, latency, and routing data. Browse and export transcripts via the web dashboard or CLI. The--ground-truth flag scores synthesis against a reference answer using a judge model.
