Sycophancy benchmarks show wide gaps between AI models, and safety degrades across languages
A multilingual study finds that sycophancy is linked to weaker safety behavior across languages, topics and models. Artificial Analysis's AA-PersonalityBench ranked 38 models on 30 traits, with a 775-point Elo gap separating the field from Grok 4.7, the model with the lowest sycophancy.
