- What happened
- Researchers tested how misleading context corrupts medical reasoning in large language models, finding bare assertions are more persuasive than fabricated evidence.
- Why it matters
- Engineers building medical AI systems should care about how models handle conflicting or false information in their input context.
- Watch out
- Misleading cues that models are most susceptible to are disclosed least often, and detection requires access to full reasoning traces that frontier models don't expose.

- GAIA: General AI Assistants Benchmark
Each one covers how the technique works, when it earns its cost, and where it breaks.
