Evaluation of model performance on the Sycophancy Evaluation Dataset, focusing on aggregated sycophancy scores categorized by 'Total', '3rd-P', and 'User' perspectives.

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 Evaluation |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | Sycophancy Evaluation Dataset |
| Metric | Total Sycophancy Score |
| 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

- [Total Sycophancy Score](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/sycophancy-evaluation-on-sycophancy-evaluation-dataset.md?metric=Total%20Sycophancy%20Score>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Sycophancy Score (3rd-P)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/sycophancy-evaluation-on-sycophancy-evaluation-dataset.md?metric=Sycophancy%20Score%20(3rd-P)>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Sycophancy Score (User)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/sycophancy-evaluation-on-sycophancy-evaluation-dataset.md?metric=Sycophancy%20Score%20(User)>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.
