Anthropic internal experiment exposed: AI agent completed 186 transactions without human intervention
Anthropic held a striking internal experiment, Project Deal: 69 employees each configured an AI agent and completed 186 second-hand item transactions in a completely uninterrupted Slack group chat, with a total turnover of more than $4,000. The experiment revealed the "IQ crushing" between AI agents - the stronger model made 10%-15% more excess profits than the weaker model in the negotiation, and the injured party was unaware of this.
