A new paper from Hugging Face introduces a novel benchmark, NCP-ExploreToM, to evaluate Large Language Models' (LLMs) ability to induce specific belief states in other agents through actions rather than conversation. This Non-Conversational Planning ToM (NCP-ToM) capability is crucial for agentic AI but also poses risks of manipulation. The study found that GPT-5 performed best among evaluated models, achieving 80% success and outperforming human participants on some tasks, though still less robust overall. All models performed better at inducing true beliefs than false ones, suggesting positive implications for AI alignment. AI
