Council freezes independent answers then blind-ranks them; Discussion is open multi-turn debate with a judge. Use Council for discrete answers, Discussion for exploration.

Discussion
Best for exploration, narratives, and questions where the path of disagreement matters. Models can evolve positions; the judge tracks lean and contested points.
Council
Best when you need a discrete answer set. Models answer alone first; then they rank anonymized peers. That mirrors what several papers find works better than open peer pressure — see the research roundup. Inspired by llm-council, not affiliated.
