Consensus

Ask several models. See where they agree.

Consensus is the mode of ewpire that puts one question to 2 to 6 models at once. Each answers on its own, then they critique each other's answers without knowing whose they are, and one model writes the result: a synthesized answer, the points of agreement, the areas of disagreement and, for some formats, a confidence based on the models' positions.

What you can do in Consensus

  • 2 to 6 models of your choice

    Pick the models from the catalog or keep the suggested set. The first model you pick writes the synthesis; if that model cannot write it, another model may.

  • 6 formats

    General, Research, Coding, Creative, Decision and Debate. The Idea validation template is a Decision with a question skeleton about your idea.

  • Independent answers, anonymous critiques

    Each model answers on its own first. Then every model reads the others' answers without knowing whose they are, and critiques them.

  • One result

    A synthesized answer, model agreement, areas of disagreement, unique insights and risks, with every model's answer and critique to read.

  • Confidence based on model positions

    How many models took the majority position and how close their own ratings are, with the method shown next to the number.

  • Files and hand-offs

    Attach up to 10 files, start from a chat with Ask consensus, take a result to Code with Build this, or save it to a project.

How Consensus works

  1. 01

    Ask the question

    Write what several models should weigh in on, choose a format and 2 to 6 models. The estimated cost shows before you start.

  2. 02

    The models answer and critique

    Each model answers on its own, then reads the others' answers without knowing whose they are and critiques them.

  3. 03

    Read one result

    One model writes the synthesis: the synthesized answer, model agreement, areas of disagreement, unique insights and risks.

Models in Consensus

33 models from 11 labs in the catalog right now. Each name opens the model's page, with what it does and its price in credits.

Consensus starts with a suggested set of models, and you can change any of them; a model you pick is not replaced, and one that stops answering is left out of the session. Only the synthesis can pass to another model: if the first model you picked cannot write it, ewpire hands it to another model when one is available, and that call is charged as part of the session.

What Consensus costs

Every model call – each answer, each critique and the synthesis – is charged for its tokens at that model's price. A session with 2 models is charged for up to 5 calls, and one with 6 models for up to 13.
  • Claude Opus 5.5: one model call with 2,000 input tokens and 1,000 output tokens costs 0.02954 credits – 0.00844 for the input and 0.0211 for the output.

Counted from the prices in the model catalog, where one credit is $1. The exact charge of each request appears in Usage.

Limits in Consensus

ewpire has no plans and no monthly quotas, so these limits are the same for everyone.
  • 2 to 6 models per question.
  • A question can be up to 32,000 characters, with up to 10 attached files.
  • An attached file can be up to 20 MB, and a model is given up to 200,000 tokens of its text.
  • A confidence is calculated for the General, Coding and Decision formats. For Research, Creative and Debate none is shown, because those answers are not meant to agree.
  • A workspace can have 50 image, video, music and Consensus jobs queued or running at once.

What Consensus does not do

  • It does not tell you what is true. A consensus shows where models agree and disagree, and models can be wrong even when they agree.
  • It does not give professional advice. It is a structured comparison of what several models say, and the decision stays yours.
  • It does not make up a confidence: when fewer than two models state a position, none is shown.

Consensus questions

How is Consensus different from asking one AI model?
A single model stays confident even when it is wrong. Consensus asks 2 to 6 models of your choice the same question; each answers on its own, then they critique each other's answers without knowing whose they are, and one model writes the result: a synthesized answer, the points of agreement, the areas of disagreement and a confidence based on the models' positions, with the method shown.
Which models take part in a consensus?
2 to 6 of your choice from the 33 text models in the catalog, or the suggested set, and the result names every model that answered. The first model you pick writes the synthesis; if that model cannot write it, ewpire hands it to another model when one is available, and that call is charged as part of the session.
What formats does Consensus have?
6 formats: General, Research, Coding, Creative, Decision and Debate. The Idea validation template is a Decision with a question skeleton about your idea: niche, competitors, demand and risks.
What does a consensus session cost?
Every model call – each answer, each critique and the synthesis – is charged for its tokens, in credits, at the price of the model that made it. A session with 2 models is charged for up to 5 model calls, and one with 6 models for up to 13. The estimate shows before you start. If fewer than two models answer, or the session fails on our side, nothing is charged. If you stop it, or its synthesis fails, after two or more have answered, the model calls already completed are charged. Claude Opus 5.5: one model call with 2,000 input tokens and 1,000 output tokens costs 0.02954 credits – 0.00844 for the input and 0.0211 for the output.
What does the confidence number mean?
It measures how much the models agreed with each other: the share of models on the majority position and how close their own ratings are. It is calculated for the General, Coding and Decision formats; Research, Creative and Debate answers are not meant to agree, so none is shown for them. It does not show whether the answer is right.
Is a consensus result professional advice?
No. It is a structured comparison of what several AI models say. Agreement and confidence show how far the models converge, not whether they are right, and the decision stays yours.
