Here is a question nobody asks: what happens when you run the same prompt through three different AI models and compare the results?
We tried it. We call it “Three Agents Walk Into a Brief.” The idea is simple. Take a single task. Give it to Claude, GPT, and a local model. Do not tweak the prompt between them. Do not cherry-pick the best one afterward. Just run all three and look at what comes out.
The differences are not subtle.
One model wrote a detailed technical response with code blocks. Another gave a short, conversational answer. The third argued with the premise of the question before answering. Three agents. One prompt. Three completely different outputs. If you had only asked one of them, you would have assumed that response was the only reasonable one.
This matters more than most people think.
When you rely on a single AI agent for important work, you are trusting one model’s training data, one set of biases, one approach to problem solving. It is like asking the same person for every decision and never checking if they were right. Lawyers call this a lack of due diligence. Doctors call it a missed diagnosis. We call it a failure of process.
The fix is not complicated. You do not need a massive multi-agent orchestration framework. You need a simple rule: for anything that matters, run it through at least two models. Compare the results. Ask yourself which one is right, or if both are missing something.
We do this for almost everything at Duelling Hares. A draft for a blog post goes through two models before we edit it. A code review gets three different agents looking at it. A strategic decision gets argued from multiple angles by different models. It adds maybe five minutes to the process. It saves hours of rework from bad assumptions.
There is a practical side to this, too. Different models have different strengths. One is better at structured output. Another writes more natural prose. A third handles ambiguity well. If you always use the same model, you are optimising for consistency at the expense of variety. And variety is where the good ideas come from.
Try it this week. Pick something you normally hand to ChatGPT or Claude. Send it to two or three models instead. Read all the responses. Pick the one that works best. Or take pieces from each. The exercise alone will change how you think about AI.
One model is an oracle. Two models are a conversation. Three models are a committee. And sometimes committees make bad decisions. But they almost never miss the obvious thing an oracle would overlook.
