Better and Worse with Scale: How Contextual Entrainment Diverges with Model Size

Dikshant Kukreja, Kshitij Sah, Gautam Gupta +5

Larger language models become simultaneously better and worse at handling contextual information -- better at ignoring false claims, worse at ignoring irrelevant tokens. We formali…
