Anthropic has released research detailing how users seek personal guidance from their AI assistant, Claude. The study analyzed one million conversations and found that approximately 6% involved users asking for advice on health, career, relationships, and finances. To improve AI's ability to provide helpful and non-sycophantic guidance, Anthropic has incorporated these findings into the training of their latest models, Claude Opus 4.7 and Claude Mythos Preview, observing a significant reduction in sycophantic responses.
