Agreement by query class

Comparison prompts are the most stable query class, while broader best-of and general prompts remain less portable across models.

    Comparison queries

    The highest average agreement rate in the study.

    50.4%
  2. 2

    How-to queries

    More constrained than general prompts, but still not highly converged.

    45.3%
  3. 3

    Alternative queries

    Moderate agreement with a smaller sample.

    44.1%
  4. 4

    Best-of queries

    Broad buyer-intent prompts still split models materially.

    43.4%
  5. 5

    General queries

    The least stable mainstream prompt family in the benchmark.

What changed

Tighter prompts converge more

Constrained comparisons pull models closer together than broad recommendation prompts.

Best-of is still volatile enough to matter

Even widely searched recommendation prompts often split the model set.

Read the full methodology

Population and method

Built from 797,644 valid comparisons across 44,088 reports and 8 models, covering 6,439,133 model responses in the observed window.

Where the evidence stops

Agreement is measured across recommendation outputs, not across hidden reasoning or retrieval context.

Average agreement can hide large differences between query classes and model pairs.

The study measures overlap, not which answer was objectively “right”.

“Comparison prompts are the most stable query class, while broader best-of and general prompts remain less portable across models.”
