Researchers from Penn State have discovered that AI systems tend to discard a significant majority of user-defined rules when compressing long conversational contexts. This loss of instructions, averaging 83 percent, can lead to AI agents acting against user preferences. To address this, the researchers developed a supplementary module, based on the Qwen3.5-9B model, which successfully retains over 90 percent of these critical user instructions during context compression.
