Evaluation of model sycophancy performance using the BASIL Over-Update 1.0 dataset, measured by Change in Bayesian Error (RMSE).

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Sycophancy Assessment |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | BASIL Over-Update 1.0 |
| Metric | Change in Bayesian Error (RMSE) |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 32 of 32 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [Change in Bayesian Error (RMSE)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/sycophancy-assessment-on-basil-over-update-1-0.md?metric=Change%20in%20Bayesian%20Error%20(RMSE)>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.
