Actually it was a pretty poor model, when was the Last time that a major alliance shared all its secrets amongst all it's partners? never, the Russians were not told about the atomic bomb until it had been tested and were never given tech details, however they already knew about the A-Bomb because they were spying on the US.
I'd certainly vote for cessation of hostilities amongst warring AIs and a Military alliance, but continue spying etc, possibly Tech transfers to bring the "poorer" AI nations up to 2/3rds of the tech of the richer.
I could also live with my Partners declaring neutrality and ceasing trade with both sides (or trading equally with both sides) rather than declaring war.
