The article shows how much better GPT-4o is at paying attention across its input window compared to GPT-4 Turbo and Claude-3 Sonnet.

We've needed an upgrade to needle in a haystack for a while and this "Needle In A Needlestack" is a good next step! NIAN creates a prompt that includes thousands of limericks and the prompt asks a question about one limerick at a specific location.

I agree, I paid for Claude for a while. Even though they swear the context is huge and having a huge context uses up tokens like crack, it's near useless when source code in context just a few pages back. It was so frustrating as everything else was as good as anything and I liked the 'vibe'.

I used 4o last night and it was still perfectly aware of a C++ class I pasted 20 questions ago. I don't care about smart, I care about useful and this really contributes to the utility.
