A recent study explored how large language models (LLMs) form and act upon stereotypes. Researchers found that smaller open-source models like Llama-3.2-3B and Qwen2.5-7B exhibited stereotypical behavior, for instance, increasing salary recommendations by 141% when steered towards higher socioeconomic status. Even advanced models such as GPT-5.6, Gemini 3.1 Pro, and Claude Opus 5 demonstrated the existence of stereotypes when asked to create fictional characters, assigning gender and race based on common societal biases. However, when these characters were presented as users seeking advice, the frontier models largely provided generic responses, failing to consistently translate their internal stereotypes into tailored user interactions.
