Debate / Adversarial Pattern

Two agents argue opposite sides, a third judges — reduces bias and hallucination.

3 roles:

  1. Proponent — argues a position
  2. Opponent — argues the opposite
  3. Judge — evaluates arguments, decides

Use cases:

  • Medical/legal critical decisions (second opinion)
  • Strategy proposals (pros vs cons)
  • Hallucination detection (judge says "evidence insufficient for this claim")

MIT's "improving factuality" paper: debate reduces hallucination 20%+.
