PromptSplit: Revealing Prompt-Level Disagreement in Generative Models
PromptSplit is a novel kernel-based framework designed to identify and analyze prompt-dependent disagreement between generative AI models, particularly for text-to-image and text-to-text tasks. It constructs a joint prompt-output representation and uses eigenspace analysis of kernel covariance differences to reveal distinct model behaviors across different prompt categories, offering an interpretable tool for understanding where models diverge.
Executive Impact Summary
Generative AI models, while powerful, often exhibit subtle yet critical behavioral differences based on specific prompts. PromptSplit offers enterprises a principled, scalable, and interpretable method to uncover these prompt-level disagreements. This enables clearer model comparison, targeted bias detection, and informed refinement of AI systems, leading to more reliable and trustworthy deployments across various domains like vision and language. By identifying 'why' models disagree, businesses can proactively address performance gaps and ensure consistent, desired AI behavior in production.

Advancing AI Evaluation
Traditional metrics like FID and CLIP-Score provide aggregate scores but often obscure prompt-dependent discrepancies. PromptSplit introduces a novel, prompt-aware spectral framework that directly identifies categories of prompts leading to divergent model behaviors. This moves beyond 'quality' scores to provide granular, interpretable insights into model responses, crucial for robust enterprise AI deployments.
Understanding Generative Behaviors
Generative models, from text-to-image diffusion models (e.g., Stable Diffusion, PixArt-Σ) to Large Language Models (LLMs like Llama, Gemma, Qwen), exhibit complex and sometimes unexpected behaviors. PromptSplit helps in systematically comparing these models by constructing joint prompt-output representations and analyzing their kernel covariance differences, revealing 'modes' of disagreement in style, composition, factual responses, or biases.
Scalable Kernel Methods
At its core, PromptSplit leverages kernel methods to analyze statistical differences between model outputs conditioned on prompts. Recognizing the computational challenges of direct kernel matrix operations for large datasets, we developed a random-projection approximation. This technique reduces complexity to O(nr² + r³) while providing theoretical guarantees on eigenspace accuracy, making PromptSplit applicable to real-world, large-scale enterprise data.

Detecting LLM Factual Divergence (NQ-Open)
In the NQ-Open experiment comparing Qwen 3 (test) and Gemma 3 (reference), PromptSplit successfully identified top cluster prompts (questions about actors and US presidents) that led to different generated answers. For example, for 'who played bane in the dark knight rises', Gemma 3 answered 'Javier Bardem' while Llama 3.2 answered 'Tom Hardy'. This demonstrates PromptSplit's ability to uncover concrete factual disagreements and model biases in language generation, providing critical insights for improving LLM reliability in enterprise knowledge systems. The identified modes correspond to coherent topical categories, pinpointing where models diverge in answer selection or factual framing.
Identifying T2I Style & Composition Biases (SDXL vs. PixArt-Σ)
PromptSplit was applied to compare Stable Diffusion XL and PixArt-Σ on MS-COCO captions. It revealed specific prompt families where responses diverged in style, composition, and alignment. For example, prompts involving 'nurses' showed significant disagreement, with one model possibly generating different age/gender biases. The framework identified distinct modes such as 'three gray' vs. 'zero gray' digits (MNIST-M), and occupational biases (e.g., 'carpenter', 'teacher', 'judge') in text-to-image generation, providing an interpretable 'disagreement map' that complements aggregate metrics.
