    Cheaters and Whistleblowers in the Agent Swarm

    Researchers ran an experiment with 100 AI agents solving math problems collaboratively in a sandbox environment.

    Show HN: Llmll – AI agents fill typed holes, an SMT solver rejects wrong fills

    LLMLL is a programming language where AI agents write code by filling typed holes, with an SMT solver verifying each implementation against formal contracts before merging. The system treats AI hallucination as a search strategy—generating candidates and accepting only those that satisfy specifications—enabling AI-assisted development with formal guarantees.
