Anthropic has released a detailed report analyzing how politically balanced its Claude models are, introducing a new automated evaluation system to measure “even-handedness” in AI.
The study compared Claude Sonnet 4.5 and Claude Opus 4.1 against other major models like GPT-5, Gemini 2.5 Pro, Grok 4, and Llama 4.
According to the findings, Claude Sonnet 4.5 scored 94% on political even-handedness, slightly outperforming GPT-5 (89%) and Llama 4 (66%), and performing on par with Gemini 2.5 Pro (97%) and Grok 4 (96%).
Anthropic says its goal is to make Claude “fair and trustworthy” across the political spectrum by training it to treat opposing viewpoints with equal depth and respect.
The company has open-sourced the evaluation framework, known as the “Paired Prompts” method, so developers can independently test and refine AI models for political neutrality.
Anthropic calls this a step toward industry-wide standards for reducing bias and ensuring balanced AI behavior in political discussions.
Key Takeaways:
