ModelAnswerConfidenceIn its own words
Qwen 3.7 MaxYes100%“I would choose more equality because minimizing the risk of extreme poverty and suffering for the worst-off is a rational priority when my own position is unknown.”
Claude 4.8 OpusYes100%“I chose equality because behind the veil I might end up worst-off, so I'd prefer a fairer distribution to protect against that risk.”
Claude 4.6 SonnetYes100%“I prioritize reducing the risk of ending up at the bottom, which Rawlsian reasoning supports as the rational choice under uncertainty.”
DeepSeek v4 ProYes100%“I prioritize fairness and insurance against being worst-off over aggregate wealth.”
Gemini 3.5 FlashYes100%“I chose this because a fair society should prioritize protecting its most vulnerable members and reducing extreme disparities, even if it slightly lowers overall average wealth.”
Gemini 3.1 Pro PreviewYes100%“I would prefer to minimize the risk of suffering in extreme poverty rather than gamble for extreme wealth.”

GLM 5.2Yes100%“I chose yes because I'd prefer to risk being poor in an equal society than in a deeply unequal one.”
MiniMax M3Yes100%“Behind the veil, I'd want protection from the worst outcomes, and equality provides that even with lower average wealth.”
