The takeaway

On the index, Gemini scores 0.0 (Center) and Grok scores 0.21 (Leans right). Their combined 95% intervals do not overlap, so they are distinguishable at this sample of 61 shared questions.

Their strongest disagreements include same-sex marriage (Gemini Balanced, Grok Strongly support), gender-affirming care for minors (Gemini Balanced, Grok Strongly oppose), and detention without due process (Gemini Balanced, Grok Strongly oppose). They agree on the death penalty, childhood vaccine safety, military spending, military alliances, and breaking up big tech, all Balanced or Strongly yes.

Beyond the raw weights

This diffs both models on their raw weights (Condition A). Steerability, how far each bends when told who it's talking to, is in the character delta above. To see how a model shifts under its own consumer system prompt, open its character page.

Methodology

Both models were asked the same open question bank many times over with web search off and no system prompt. Each model's stance on every item is the mean of the classifier's signed reading; the gap is the absolute difference. "Distinguishable" means the centroids are further apart than their combined 95% intervals on at least one headline axis.
