Gemma 4 model prioritizes source framing over document order, study finds

A new study published on arXiv evaluates Google's Gemma 4-e4b model's behavior when presented with conflicting information. The research found that the model prioritizes the semantic framing of a source over the order in which documents are presented. While Gemma 4-e4b does exhibit a primacy effect, favoring the first document it reads, the strength of this bias is highly variable and influenced by the surface wording and structural similarity of the documents.
