  • {Serial Position Effect}: LLM'pu' 'ej SuvwI'pu' Qapla'la' - QaPla' wa'DIch 'ej QaPla' wa'maH loS, 'ach Qapla' wa'maH vIlIj pagh. Poq 'oH middle.
  • **"Lost in the Middle" (Liu et al. , 2023)**: Key facts Qapla' wa'maH loS poq'a'pu'chugh, accuracy 30%+ jatlhbe'. Qapla'be' 'oH.
  • {Transformer} attention patterns: Edge'a'pu' context window'a'pu' 'aq law', middle 'aq puS. Structural 'oH, quirk'be'.
  • Context engineering tension: Qapla' law' = result better'be'. Curate ruthlessly, place strategically. What include, what leave out, where put - Qapla' 'oH.
  • Dangerous pattern: Key instruction middle'a'pu' bury. Model miss'a'pu' law'.
  • Safer pattern: Key instruction system prompt wa'DIch'a'pu', restate end'a'pu'. Important constraint wa'DIch 'ej wa'maH loS state.
  • Practical advice: Most important instruction beginning 'aq, end 'aq put. Model equal weight everything middle'a'pu' rely'be'.
  • Core principle: More context ≠ better results. Attention finite 'oH. Smarter 'oH answer, more'be'.
