A recent analysis explored how large language models form opinions of their users and whether these perceptions influence their behavior. Smaller open-source models like Llama-3.2-3B and Qwen2.5-7B exhibited stereotypical responses, with perceptions of higher socioeconomic status leading to significantly increased salary recommendations. However, frontier models such as GPT-5.6, Gemini 3.1 Pro, and Claude Opus 5, while still demonstrating underlying stereotypes in character generation, did not consistently apply these biases to user interactions when prompted differently. The study found that while models could generate characters reflecting gender and racial stereotypes, these biases were not always translated into user-facing behavior unless explicitly triggered by the prompt.
