The models agree on the broad strokes but diverge on specifics. Control: a panel of one summary from each of 5 different stories scores 0.631 on the same measure. **[beat_04c_per_model_void] Host:** Per-model void comparison. ChatGPT uniquely missed that, while, risk. Claude uniquely missed that, concerns, while. Gemini uniquely missed concerns, risk, instead.
