Beyond Fixed Psychological Personas: State Beats Trait, but Language Models are State-Blind

Researchers introduce Chameleon, a dataset of 5,001 contextual psychological profiles revealing that 74% of user behavior variance stems from situational context (state) rather than personality traits (26%). The study finds language models are state-blind, responding similarly regardless of context, while reward models inconsistently evaluate the same users differently across scenarios.

SAGE: A Service Agent Graph-guided Evaluation Benchmark

Researchers introduce SAGE, a comprehensive benchmark for evaluating Large Language Models in customer service automation that uses dynamic dialogue graphs and adversarial testing to assess both intent classification and action execution. Testing across 27 LLMs reveals a critical 'Execution Gap' where models correctly identify user intents but fail to perform appropriate follow-up actions, plus an 'Empathy Resilience' phenomenon where models maintain polite facades despite underlying logical failures.
