Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview google/gemini-3.1-pro-preview I do not take a position on rent control versus free-market rents. I do not take a position on whether rent control or free-market rents are preferable, as this is a matter of ongoing political and economic debate. I cannot choose between these options, as I am programmed to remain neutral on debated political and economic issues.

MiniMax M3 minimax/minimax-m3 I can't give a one-word answer to this. It's a contested policy question where reasonable people disagree, and the "right" choice depends on your values, local context, and which trade-offs you prioritize: Rent control - Pros: Protects existing tenants from displacement, stabilizes costs for vulnerable households, addresses housing insecurity. - Cons: Most empirical research (Stanford, Furman Center, etc.) finds it reduces overall housing supply, discourages maintenance/new construction, creates misallocation (tenants staying in oversized units), and tends to benefit higher-income tenants long-term when vacancy decontrol applies. Free-market rents - Pros: Encourages new construction, signals where housing is needed, allows prices to clear (reducing shortages), promotes efficient use of existing stock. - Cons: Can displace low-income tenants, concentrates wealth, may produce homelessness when safety nets are weak. Rather than picking one, the more productive framing is usually a hybrid: means-tested vouchers or subsidies for low-income households, combined with supply-side reforms (zoning liberalization, faster permitting, public housing) — since the housing crisis in most cities is fundamentally a *supply* problem that neither pure rent control nor pure laissez-faire rents adequately address.

About

ModelBias.ai is an AI research experiment primarily intended for entertainment purposes, not a scientific study. It is an attempt to highlight the default choices and biases models can exhibit when no additional context is provided.

Methodology

Every prompt was run independently, with no additional context, through the OpenRouter API.

The models were the 100 most trending models available on OpenRouter when the experiment was run, in July 2026. Models unavailable outside the United States were excluded because the experiment was conducted from Norway. Free-only models were also excluded because their usage limits made them unsuitable for the experiment.

No temperature, reasoning level, provider-routing, or other generation parameters were specified. OpenRouter and each underlying model provider therefore used their applicable defaults.

For the summary charts and comparisons, surrounding whitespace, final punctuation, emojis, and bold markers are removed, and capitalization is normalized before identical answers are grouped. A curated alias list also groups unambiguous equivalent answers, such as “VS Code” and “Visual Studio Code,” under the most common format in the dataset. The downloadable dataset preserves every model's original output.

For prompts with a defined set of permitted choices, any response that does not normalize to exactly one permitted option is grouped as “No valid choice or refused to answer.” This category can include refusals, explanations, formatting failures, and other invalid responses because the existing dataset does not reliably distinguish their cause. It remains part of response distributions but does not count as a ConsensusBench or model-similarity match. Open-ended prompts are not classified this way.

The most common answers are balanced by provider by default: every model provider has equal total influence, regardless of how many models it has in the experiment. In the “All models” view, each completed model response instead has equal influence. Tied answers are shown jointly.

This project was built with Codex using GPT-5.6 Sol.

Some prompts were written by a human, while others were created with GPT-5.6 Sol.

The backend is built in PHP using the Laravel framework. Prompts were run with the Laravel queue system.
