Can 2025 LLMs balance high IQ (Strategy) with high EQ (Personality)? 🤖🧠❤️ Thanks to the amazing @JentseHuang, we have updated our three major benchmarks -- PsychoBench, EmotionBench, and GAMA-Bench -- with the latest 2025 models (Gemini-3, GPT-5, Claude-4.5, DeepSeek-v3.2). The results reveal a shifting landscape in AI cognition and sentiment. 1⃣ Strategic Reasoning has a new king. On GAMA-Bench (ICLR'25), Claude-Sonnet-4 dominates with a score of 83.7, far outpacing GPT-4o (65.5). This suggests that models like Claude are cracking complex multi-agent cooperation and betrayal dynamics better than their peers. 2⃣ High Empathy is becoming the norm. On PsychoBench (ICLR'24), Gemini-2.5-Pro reaches an Empathy score of 6.96, significantly surpassing the human crowd baseline of 4.92. Meanwhile, safety tuning is working: Gemini-3-Pro shows near-zero Dark Triad traits (Narcissism/Machiavellianism), whereas older open models like LLaMA-3.1-70B retain "darker" profiles. 3⃣ Emotional Resilience is stabilizing. On EmotionBench (NeurIPS'24), GPT-5 displays human-like stability. Its positive mood drops significantly less in negative contexts (-8.2) compared to GPT-4 (-27.6), while DeepSeek-V3.2 demonstrates sharper, more appropriate negative empathy responses. 4⃣ Different families, different strengths. While Claude leads in pure game-theoretic reasoning (GAMA), the Gemini and GPT-5 families excel in psychological safety and emotional stability. The gap between "Thinking" and "Feeling" capabilities is defining the 2025 model landscape.

We have updated our GitHub code so SOTA models can easily be tested.
