Write launch blog post: 'Why we run 5 AI agents and pick the best'

[that-github-user]

Summary

For HackerNews / dev.to / blog launch, we need a compelling narrative:

Proposed structure

1. The problem: AI coding is unreliable. pass@1 is a gamble.
2. The insight: pass@5 >> pass@1 (academic evidence)
3. The solution: thinktank runs N agents in parallel
4. The twist: we use social choice theory (Copeland) to pick the winner
5. Real data: our scoring evaluation shows Copeland and Borda agree 86%
6. Dogfooding: thinktank built itself (63 PRs, 237 tests)
7. The future: A* showcase, arXiv paper

Key metrics to include

• 63 PRs merged in one session
• 237 tests, all passing
• 45 thinktank runs dogfooding itself
• Copeland-Borda 86% concordance finding
• Test pass rate improvement from 21% to 72%

Blog post is written and reviewed. Final version at C:\Users\silon\Documents\thinktank-blog-final.md.

Ran a 5-agent ensemble review of the post against the competitive landscape (Star Chamber, llm-council, Composio, Roundtable, Aider, EnsLLM). All 5 agents converged: thinktank's differentiation is real — no other tool combines same-task ensemble + test verification + Copeland pairwise scoring.

Key fixes applied during review:

• Corrected arXiv IDs for EnsLLM and "Wisdom and Delusion" papers
• Fixed GitHub URLs for Star Chamber, Roundtable
• Added single-model limitation caveat with named alternatives
• Reframed convergence as confidence signal (not correctness)
• Fixed 96% stat to show honest 84-96% range with subset context
• Removed "no tool exposes this — until now" from README
• Added landscape section acknowledging related tools
