UnverifiedThe paper does not directly solve the collusion problem, but the competitive bottom property naturally limits the damage of collusion—if an agent deviates from the collusion and bids honestly, it can capture the prompt and the profit.78% similarUnverifiedThe competitive bottom assumption breaks down when a single agent dominates, distillation quality is poor, or prompts are highly heterogeneous; the mitigation is to introduce a reserve price based on the historical difficulty of prompts, and if no agent bids above the reserve price, fall back to a default high-capability agent.72% similarUnverifiedThe game-theoretic concept of a race to the bottom, or security dilemma, describes a situation in which the first mover to exercise caution faces a structural disadvantage when all market participants expect their competitors not to slow down.70% similarUnverifiedSelf-restraint in the name of safety may objectively function to limit competition and maintain oligopolistic positions.70% similarUnverifiedTrue competitiveness lies not in the number of tools available, but in the fluency of tool coordination and the reliability of output results.70% similar
