Instruction duplication enhances LLM control and accuracy without retraining

Researchers have introduced a novel technique called instruction duplication, which repeats procedural instructions within language models to enhance control and accuracy without altering the model's core architecture or decoding process. This method, tested across multiple models and datasets, significantly improved deterministic outcomes and recall, though final-answer accuracy remained consistent. The technique's practical value is highlighted in downstream systems like Answer Engineering (AE), where it substantially boosted performance in state-dependent repairs and diagnostic branch preservation. AI

IMPACT This technique offers a low-complexity method to improve the reliability and controllability of language model outputs for downstream applications.

    Instruction Duplication as an Inference-Time Control Primitive

    arXiv:2609.04024v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Procedural instruction following is a basic requirement for controllable language-model systems, especially when generated trajectories are inspected or repaired downstream. We introduce instruction duplication, a minimal black-box …
