Tacit Coordination of Large Language Models
Tacit Coordination of Large Language Models
In this article we explore how large language models (LLMs) act as players in tacit coordination games and how focal points emerge to guide their behavior. The study compares LLMs with human participants across cooperative and competitive scenarios, revealing that LLMs often outperform humans while still struggling with common‑sense coordination involving numbers or cultural nuances.
