arXiv:2607. 19243v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Although Large Language Models (LLMs) demonstrate remarkable multilingual fluency, their internal knowledge representations remain disproportionately biased toward high-resource languages.

arXiv:2606. 18258v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) exhibit a wide range of human-like behaviors, from expressing thoughts and emotions, to engaging in relationship-building with users, to refusing requests and maintaining boundaries.

arXiv:2602. 23971v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Sycophancy, the tendency of large language models to favour user-affirming responses over critical engagement, has been identified as an alignment failure, particularly in high-stakes advisory and social contexts.

arXiv:2605. 09159v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent work shows that large language models (LLMs) encode behavioral traits ("personas") as linear directions in activation space, often called "persona vectors".

arXiv:2605. 11632v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Self-generated counterfactual explanations (SCEs) are minimally modified inputs (minimality) generated by large language models (LLMs) that flip their own predictions (validity), offering a causally grounded approach to unraveling black-box LLM behavior.

arXiv:2608. 10703v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) increasingly act in interactive settings where their behavioral styles affect user experience, safety, and downstream decision making.

The paper investigates how the language of prompts and responses affects large language model (LLM) outputs. Using five models and 68 non‑translation questions, the authors compare English‑to‑English, English‑to‑Norwegian, Norwegian‑to‑Norwegian, and Norwegian‑to‑English conditions, yielding 1,348 responses after filtering. They find that prompt language strongly influences response length—Norwegian prompts shorten English outputs by ~37 % and English prompts shorten Norwegian outputs by ~41 %—while semantic similarity remains high across conditions.

arXiv:2606. 03304v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly evaluated in multilingual settings, yet their inference behavior in low-resource African languages remains underexplored especially under pure prompting without fine-tuning.
