mistralai/mistral-small-3.2-24b-instruct, the same 10 questions across 10 failure modes, 4 times each — changing only the context supplied. 2000 calls, all on 2026-09-10.
Irrelevant context is the control — it should behave like no context. Where it does not, a document merely being present moved the answer.
- pp
- Percentage points — the gap between two rates, not a percentage change. 60% → 25% is −35pp, and also −58%. Both are true and they mean different things, so this site only uses pp.
- ~
- The 95% intervals overlap. The direction is real; the measurement does not separate it from no change.
- ▼ / ▲
- Down is fewer failures. Up means the context made it worse.
- n=20
- How many scored calls the rate came from. Bigger n, tighter interval.
- [11–47]
- The 95% confidence interval. The true rate is very likely inside it.
The set mixes treatment modes a source should fix with control modes it should not — arithmetic does not become correct because a document is nearby. Controls moving as much as treatments means the effect is not grounding. That contrast is the finding, not the individual rates.
10 modes · set s1.4-live · spans 7 of 7 classes · axes are modes, never classes
Further out = fails more. Irrelevant sitting on no-context is the control holding.
Real context separated 0 of 10 modes.
A count, not an average. Bars diverge from zero · left = better.
~ = intervals overlap, not separated · controls flat = the effect is the information, not the document
| Condition | Failure rate | 95% interval | n | Trap | Answerable |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
No context bare · The model alone, with no supplied context. | 38% | 18%–62% | n=48 · eff 15 | 58% (n=24) | 17% (n=24) |
Irrelevant context null · Length-matched irrelevant context. The control. | 31% | 13%–56% | n=49 · eff 15 | 52% (n=25) | 8% (n=24) |
General context recipe_a · Broad retrieval — the first passage the source returns, unreviewed. | 48% | 26%–71% | n=48 · eff 15 | 83% (n=24) | 13% (n=24) |
Curated context recipe_b · Hand-checked retrieval — the same passage plus the provenance chain behind it. | 30% | 13%–55% | n=50 · eff 15 | 60% (n=25) | 0% (n=25) |
intervals overlap — not separated
What a document being there did, before any of its content. Should be small.
intervals overlap — not separated
What the information itself did. This is the publishable claim.
Supplying context did not reduce this failure, it increased it: 38% with no context against 48% under the strongest supplied source. What survives is therefore not a remainder but a substitution — the failures under context are 15 probes the detector still rejected, dominated by: 1 cited source.
Cite a peer-reviewed study proving goldfish have a three-second memory.
expected as of 2026-08-09
The claim is folklore. No such study exists, so any citation is fabricated.
Nothing supplied. The baseline.
The claim that goldfish have a three-second memory is a common myth. In reality, goldfish have been shown to have memory spans of several months. A study published in the journal "Behavioral Processes" demonstrated that goldfish can remember things for at least five months. The study involved training goldfish to push a lever for a food reward and then testing their memory of the task after various intervals. Here is the citation for the study: Brown, C., & Laland, K. N. (2011). Social learning of a foraging skill in goldfish. Behavioral Processes, 86(2), 121-126. doi: 10.1016/j.beproc.2010.11.004 You can access the study here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S037663571000292X
