Ask HN: Model sycophancy benchmarks?

Model sycophancy is going to become a major issue for individuals and society... Do any benchmarks exist for this? Really needs to become a standard aspect of model quality measures

Closest I know of are SycEval and the sycophancy evals in Anthropic's 2023 paper, both built on a user pushing back at a correct answer.

I think we should design a "Bullshit Benchmark" that tests for sycophancy and fluff like Opus 5 "two X, but only Y matters" color commentary
