Theory of Mind (ToM)—the ability to attribute mental states to others—is considered a hallmark of human social intelligence. We naturally track what others believe, want, and intend. But it gets harder when beliefs nest: understanding what Alice thinks Bob believes about Carol’s intentions requires recursive modeling that strains even human cognition. This experiment tests how deep LLMs can go in recursive belief modeling.
