Abstract

Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and LLaMA have transformed AI-driven education, but these systems are predominantly trained on Western-centric data, making them ill-suited for regional curricula like India's. The Indian education system is linguistically diverse, exam-oriented, and structured around standardized syllabi, not addressed by existing datasets or tools. In this work, we curate a syllabus-aligned QA dataset based on NCERT (National Council of Educational Research and Training) textbooks for classes 9-12, capturing the content, context, and teaching style of Indian curricula. The final dataset, comprising 18,720 question-answer pairs across five subjects, is publicly available at https://huggingface.co/datasets/LingoIITGN/Gurukul. We fine-tune the LLaMA 3.1 8B model using this dataset and deploy it in a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) framework tailored to educational needs. We introduce GurukulAI, an open-access platform that enables Indian students to chat with the model, get doubts cleared, practice exam-style questions, receive contextual answers, and interact in both English and Hindi. By localizing AI for Indian classrooms, our work bridges the gap between global LLM capabilities and regional educational demands. The code is available at https://github.com/lingo-iitgn/GurukulAI.

Not Your Typical Sycophant: The Elusive Nature of Sycophancy in Large Language Models

We propose a novel perspective for probing LLM sycophancy in a direct and neutral way, mitigating various forms of uncontrolled bias, noise, or manipulative language, deliberately injected to prompts in prior works. A key novelty of our approach is the use of an LLM-as-a-judge in a zero-sum betting game. Within this framework, sycophancy serves one individual (the user) while explicitly incurring cost on another. Comparing 11 leading models we find that while most models exhibit significant sycophantic tendencies in the common setting, in which sycophancy is self-serving to the user and incurs no cost on others, seven of the models exhibit ``moral remorse'', five of which significantly over-compensate for their sycophancy in case it explicitly harms a third party. We refer to this phenomenon as `anti-sycophancy' bias and discuss possible causes for this shift.

PAUSE: Editable Strategy Artifacts for Long-Form Cultural Story Adaptation

Generative AI systems increasingly mediate cultural adaptation, but their cultural decisions are often hidden inside prompts, transient model plans, or final prose. We study PAUSE (Pause-And-Update Strategy Editing), an intervention that exposes an editable adaptation strategy as a human control surface for cultural decisions in long-form story adaptation. The strategy is a structured artifact that can be inspected, edited, and then projected through downstream character, entity, and chapter-localization stages. In two Chinese-source serialized novels, we test whether human edits to this strategy propagate into chapter-level prose. Across 9 edited-vs-control chapter comparisons, judges select the edited-strategy output in all 9; a marker audit shows target markers in 8/9 edited outputs and 0/9 controls, with forbidden markers absent from edited outputs and present in all controls. We frame these results as a smoke-scale edit-adherence study, not a claim that the outputs are culturally authoritative or literary-quality improvements. PAUSE offers one practical way to make AI-mediated cultural adaptation more inspectable and contestable before decisions propagate through long-form generation.

How Identity and Opinion Shape Political Sycophancy in LLMs

As Large Language Models (LLMs) increasingly encourage users to disclose personal profiles for tailored assistance, measuring their political alignment becomes increasingly important. However, many existing benchmarks for assessing political behavior rely on closed-ended questions and do not fully capture how a model's stance may adapt to user-provided context during interaction. We introduce a framework that disentangles two distinct triggers of political sycophancy: opinion (aligning with explicit narratives) and identity (stereotyping based on demographic labels). Using 450 manually-checked political dilemmas as controlled probes, we evaluate 13 instruction-tuned LLMs. We uncover a dissociation: a model's susceptibility to explicit opinions does not necessarily predict its susceptibility to identity cues, and vice versa. When both signals are present, their effects are generally sub-additive rather than simply additive. Additionally, system-level personas primarily shift a model's baseline stance while having limited effect on the stance shift caused by user opinion or identity. Ultimately, our results suggest that LLM political stance is interactively and steerably vulnerable rather than being a fixed trait, highlighting how personalization may amplify identity- or opinion-conditioned shifts in the model's behaviors.
