Notes¶

Three separate searches were combined for this search log. Despite 30 results across targeted searches for enterprise anti-sycophancy case studies, zero results described an enterprise building a private AI system with anti-sycophancy as an explicit design goal. All anti-sycophancy work is performed by model providers (Anthropic, Google DeepMind, OpenAI) and academic researchers.
