LLMs Know But Fail To Tell: Long-Context Challenges In AI Models
Large language models like GPT-3 can "know" correct answers but fail to output them due to biases & limitations in the models, leading to "long-context failures". Researchers aim to guide future work in making LLMs better at long-context reasoning.
This is a Plain English Papers summary of a research paper called Insights into LLM Long-Context Failures: When Transformers Know but Don't Tell.

Overview • This paper investigates the challenges large language models (LLMs) face when processing long input contexts, and why they sometimes fail to utilize relevant information that is available in the context. • The researchers find that LLMs can often "know" the correct answer based on the provided context, but fail to out...
