This creates problems that single-turn systems avoid: long-range dependencies, consistency across turns, and vague or partial user input. Older rule-based, retrieval-based and neural systems handled these poorly and needed expensive… 2. **[Too Good to be Bad: On the Failure of LLMs to Role-Play Villains](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/yi-2026-too-good-be-bad-failure/)** *(2026 · 3 citations)* LLMs are increasingly used for interactive fiction, games and co-written stories, yet nobody had systematically checked whether they can convincingly play antagonists. 3. **[Attention Basin: Why Contextual Position Matters in Large Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/yi-2026-attention-basin-why-contextual-position/)** *(2026 · 2 citations)* Large language models handle information unevenly depending on where it appears in the prompt. This paper asks why. Across 10 LLMs, the authors measured how much attention query tokens pay to each block in structured inputs, such as sets of retrieved documents or few-shot examples.
