Lost in the Middle at Birth: An Exact Theory of Transformer Position Bias

Researchers discover that the 'Lost in the Middle' phenomenon in transformer models - where AI performs poorly on middle context but well on beginning and end content - is an inherent architectural property present even before training begins. The U-shaped performance bias stems from the mathematical structure of causal decoders with residual connections, creating a 'factorial dead zone' in middle positions.

The Dunning-Kruger Effect in Large Language Models: An Empirical Study of Confidence Calibration

A new study reveals that large language models exhibit patterns similar to the Dunning-Kruger effect, where poorly performing AI models show severe overconfidence in their abilities. The research tested four major models across 24,000 trials, finding that Kimi K2 displayed the worst calibration with 72.6% overconfidence despite only 23.3% accuracy, while Claude Haiku 4.5 achieved the best performance with proper confidence calibration.
