Playing log(N)-Questions over Wikipedia Abstracts: How Per-Round Errors Compound Under Information Asymmetry

We evaluate six frontier language models on the two-agent $\log_2 N$-Questions game (Potash et al., 2019) to measure self-communication across an information asymmetry. A questioner with access to $N$ candidate Wikipedia lead paragraphs ($N = 4$ to $1024$) must identify a secret target using exactly $\log_2 N$ binary q...
