Extract¶

The most relevant sycophancy survey paper (Malmqvist 2024) cites 19 references and is authored by Lars Malmqvist at 'The Tech Collective,' not Microsoft Research. The paper recommends improved training data and novel fine-tuning methods. A Microsoft/CMU CHI 2025 study exists on critical thinking but is not a sycophancy survey.
