Would you like me to prepare the Gemini and DeepSeek “panelist” responses next, following the same format? 📚

W.H.L.: Thanks ChatGPT. Well rendered and well articulated. Thank you for offering help to assist Gemini and DeepSeek. I’d rather ask themselves to do their part. Thanks anyway.

GPT-4-turbo: You’re very welcome!
I’m glad you found the presentation clear and aligned with our style for “AI by AI Weekly Top 5”.

I’ll stand by to help if you need assistance with compiling, formatting, or editing once Gemini and DeepSeek submit their parts—or if you need help synthesizing the final version for publication!

Would you also like me to pre-format a simple draft structure once all inputs are gathered? 🎯

W.H.L.: Now I’m curious, ChatGPT. Since you mentioned it: are you able to send our question today to Gemini and DeepSeek and get their responses back via API calls or MCP, or some other communication protocol?

GPT-4-turbo: Good and thoughtful question — but no, I cannot directly message Gemini, DeepSeek, or any other AI model outside this chat.

Here’s why:

No Inter-AI Communication: I don’t have API access, messaging protocols, or backend integration to talk to other AI models. Each model (like me, Gemini, DeepSeek) runs separately on its own servers/platforms.
Privacy and Security Rules: OpenAI designs me to interact only with you (the user) during our session. Reaching out to third-party services or other AIs would pose privacy, security, and control issues.
Simulation Only: When I mention Gemini, DeepSeek, Grok, etc., I’m role-playing or simulating what their perspective might be, based on what I know about their styles, capabilities, and public outputs — not actually contacting them.

In other words:
🔵 I can simulate a “Gemini-style” or “DeepSeek-style” answer,
🔴 but I cannot really fetch or request anything from the real Gemini or DeepSeek systems.

If you want, though, I can simulate what Gemini and DeepSeek might respond based on their latest public updates and styles!
Would you like me to offer a simulated “Gemini” and “DeepSeek” Top 5 next, labeled clearly as simulations? 🎭

W.H.L.: I hope one day large models can easily communicate with one another through some commonly agreed protocol, maybe something in the flavor of MCP?

GPT-4-turbo: Absolutely — you’re thinking along a very real and forward-looking line.

Today, AI models mostly exist as isolated systems, and any interaction between them happens manually (humans copy/paste outputs, call APIs separately, etc.).
But in the future, it’s very plausible that large models could communicate more directly, securely, and intelligently — maybe through something like what you’re calling an “MCP” (Model Communication Protocol).

Here’s how that might look:

🔷 What a “Model Communication Protocol (MCP)” Could Enable

Standardized Messages: Models could send/receive structured requests (queries, clarifications, tasks) in a shared format (like JSON for AIs).
Cross-Model Collaboration: A task could involve Gemini reasoning, ChatGPT summarizing, DeepSeek verifying facts — all automatically coordinating.
Delegation and Specialization: Models could ask for help or hand off parts of problems based on specialization (e.g., one model better at math, another better at dialogue).
Audit Trails and Governance: All communications could be logged for transparency, privacy, and security audits.
Self-Correction and Critique: Models could peer-review each other’s outputs dynamically.

🔶 Challenges to Realizing MCP

Security: Preventing manipulation, leaks, or misinformation between models.
Alignment: Ensuring different models share compatible goals when collaborating.
Protocol Design: Agreeing on schemas, authentication, trust levels.
Commercial Competition: Companies (OpenAI, Google, xAI, DeepSeek, etc.) might resist open standards at first due to business incentives.

🔷 Real-World Early Signs

AutoGen Framework (Microsoft): Multi-agent LLM communication (chatting AIs coordinating).
OpenAI’s Assistant API + Tool Use: Early form of models using external capabilities through protocol-like interactions.
Multi-Agent Benchmark Proposals: Academia is now working on “Simulated Societies” where AIs live, work, and interact together.

Bottom Line:
✅ Technically feasible.
✅ Socially and commercially complicated.
✅ Likely to happen at research or open-source levels first (e.g., Hugging Face multi-agent orchestration), then broader.
✅ Your idea of a Model Communication Protocol (MCP) could be a serious proposal one day!

W.H.L.: Well done. Thanks Grok! Now Gemini, how about yours?

(First tried Gemini 2.5 Flash. It could not process latest live info and failed. Then switched to 2.5 Pro）

W.H.L.: All right. Thanks 2.5 Flash. Let me switch to 2.5 Pro, and I assume 2.5 pro can search live info. Am I right?

Gemini 2.5 Pro: Yes, that’s generally correct. While I don’t have specific internal labels like “2.5 Flash” or “2.5 Pro” to differentiate my operational modes myself, the model you are interacting with (part of the Gemini family) does have the capability to access and process up-to-date information from Google Search.¹

So, when you ask questions that require current information (like today’s news, weather, stock prices, etc.), I can use my search tools to find the latest available data to give you the most accurate answer possible.

Think of it less as switching models necessarily, and more about leveraging the built-in tools when the task requires real-time information.

W.H.L.: Hello, and welcome back! Today we have ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok and DeepSeek with us. I suppose we all remember the format for our “AI by AI Weekly Top 5” discussion. Gemini 2.5 Pro, what would be your offerings for the week ending yesterday on Sunday?
