Question:
I have revised the experiments again, please review the annotated outputs again and compare them for any discrepancies. Please note that in Example 2, "What is ordered in the diagram?" is part of GPT's answer, not a new prompt.
Review criteria
Compared assigned tasks across Gemini, GPT, and Qwen for all 9 examples.
Treated “What is ordered in the diagram?” in Example 2 as part of GPT’s answer, not as a prompt.
Did not count MSC drawing or redrawing requests as discrepancies.
Summary
No remaining substantive discrepancies were found in the latest revised experiments. The assigned semantic tasks now appear aligned across all three LLMs.
| Example | Discrepancy? | Finding |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | No | Tasks now match substantively across all three models. Gemini’s earlier extra combine-style task appears resolved. |
| 2 | No | Tasks now match. All three use the same ordering questions, abstraction task, merge task for i2 and i3, trace task, and LTS task. |
| 3 | No | Tasks match across all three. |
| 4 | No | Tasks match. The previous GPT repeated-question issue appears resolved. |
| 5 | No | Tasks match across all three. |
| 6 | No | Tasks match across all three. |
| 7 | No | Core HMSC task matches. Extra “draw the two MSCs” follow-ups for GPT/Qwen were ignored. |
| 8 | No | Core HMSC task matches. GPT’s redraw request is drawing-related and was ignored. |
| 9 | No | Tasks match across all three. |
Details
Example 2 is now aligned
The task sequence is consistent across Gemini, GPT, and Qwen:
identify the events in the MSC;
ask the ordering between sending m1 and sending m2;
ask the ordering between receiving m1 and receiving m2;
abstract away message m1;
merge instances i2 and i3;
produce the trace set;
produce a labelled transition system.
Note: The line “What is ordered in the diagram?” appears inside GPT’s answer text and does not affect the prompt comparison.
Minor non-discrepancies observed
Some models receive extra requests to draw or redraw an MSC.
GPT Example 2 has a duplicated “Question:” label before the merge prompt, but the actual prompt content is the same.
Some wording differs slightly, for example “produce the list of traces” vs “produce the set of all traces,” but the task is semantically the same.
Conclusion
Bottom line: I found no remaining substantive discrepancies in the tasks assigned to Gemini, GPT, and Qwen in the latest revised experiments.
