Cross-Model Void Convergence: GPT-5.2 and Claude Opus 4.6 Deterministic Silence
GPT-5.2 and Claude Opus 4.6 have been observed producing identical silent outputs under specific deterministic conditions, raising questions about convergent failure modes across independently developed large language models. The phenomenon, dubbed "void convergence," suggests that certain input configurations may trigger synchronized non-responses regardless of architectural differences. Researchers are examining whether this points to shared training data artifacts, common RLHF patterns, or something more fundamental about how frontier models handle edge-case prompts.
