We propose incentive-aligned mechanisms for in-context credit assignment: the task of assigning credit for AI-generated content among creators whose intellectual property appears in the context window. Our approach is based on the least core solution concept from cooperative game theory, which distributes value in a way that is as stable as possible by ensuring that no subset of creators is significantly under-compensated relative to the value they could generate on their own. We develop algorithms for approximating the least core, which leverage novel routines for constraint seeding and constraint separation. On a web retrieval credit assignment task, we find that our approaches approximate the least core using an order of magnitude fewer LLM calls compared to alternative methods.
