I found that Claude often has classist bias and produces answers that favour corporations or e.g. regulation that favours big corporations. It often belittles small business in subtle ways. Only apologises when get called out and then does it again.

As a user of both, Claude's apology is a "sorry I got caught" while Gemini's are more akin to "I'm way out of my debt but I'm really hiding it well". Codex is the only one that seems to acknowledge being wrong in a normal way, yeah I screwed up that's bad I will make a note for it not to happen again.

I wonder how much of that is from their training corpus and how much is from their baked in personnality.

What exactly you mean with "baked in personality"? The weights get their "behaviour" from various training stages + what's provided in system/developer/user prompts, you mean "baked in" is putting personality traits or alike in the system/developer prompts?

They’re talking about the personality created by RLHF.
It's more that Claude focuses on what's accurate. Humans overly romanticize small businesses, probably to a factor of five X the relative value versus big corporations.
