Sycophancy Notebook

 

Overview

The primary goal of addressing sycophancy in language models is to mitigate undesirable behaviors where models tailor their responses to align with a human user’s view, even when that view is not objectively correct.

The notebook introduces a simple synthetic data intervention aimed at reducing undesirable behaviors in language models, we took the openai gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct model. You can refer the below notebook for more details.
