Replayable Financial Agents

Published "Replayable Financial Agents" — 4,705 agent runs at temperature 0.0 across 7 models and 4 providers. By the author's measurement, decision reproducibility showed no correlation with task accuracy (r=-0.11, p=0.63). Large models of 120B+ had reproducibility under 20%

Why it matters

The domain is finance, but the requirement to replay for audits has the same structure as quality audits. Refutes, with 4,705 runs, the common belief that picking a more accurate model brings reproducibility along with it
