Context Rot & Attention Decay Simulator
Understand why LLMs forget critical facts buried in large context windows. Visualize the classic U-shaped attention curve and optimize information placement.

🧠 The "Lost in the Middle" Phenomenon
Transformer self-attention exhibits strong primacy and recency bias. Retrieval accuracy plunges when critical facts are placed between 40% and 70% depth of long contexts.
