Same Facts, Different Updates: Inference Setup Shapes LLM Behavior in Medical Allocation

The paper investigates how the inference setup of large language models (LLMs) influences their behavior in a medical resource‑allocation scenario. By comparing paired‑context and independent‑inference experiments, the authors show that adding a single contrasting patient sentence can shift the model’s probability assignments in opposite directions across most tested models. Additional experiments varying scenario attributes further demonstrate that patient information can have context‑dependent effects on LLM outputs.
