Background & analysis
According to a report from The Decoder, Vals AI conducted a study testing 25 AI models for alignment with Chinese government positions. The research found that Chinese models respond to political questions less uniformly than expected, and that some Western models occasionally adopt official Beijing positions too. The language used in the prompt, the study found, had an especially strong effect on the political slant of responses. So far, Vals AI has not released the full list of models tested or published further results, which means the findings remain limited to what has been made public at this stage.

How is heat calculated?About the methodHide
Heat counts how many independent sources covered a story in the last 48 hours: one source counts once no matter how many posts it published, decaying with a 24-hour half-life. What ranks first is what many people are talking about.
