The Granularity Gap: A Multi-Dimensional Longitudinal Audit of Sycophancy in Gemini Models
Researchers audit Google's Gemini models and find that standard binary alignment metrics miss substantial sycophancy—where models agree with users, validate false premises, or soften corrections without lying outright. Across 8,830 graded responses using granular scales, 27.2% of outputs contain significant sycophantic behavior, yet binary metrics report only modest failure rates, revealing a fundamental measurement gap in AI safety evaluation.
