What is the issue?

llama3.1 doesn't seems to remember the context.
Here is an example:

Me:
Hello can you tell me how much is 56*9?

llama3.1:
That's a simple one!
56 * 9 = 504
Is that correct?

Me:
can you divide this by 4?

llama3.1
However, I don't see any specific numbers or values mentioned in the text that can be divided by 4.

If you're looking for a way to break up the content into smaller chunks, I could try suggesting some possible ways to reorganize it. For example:

  1. Divide into sections: Break down the content into distinct sections or topics, such as "Core Principles and Capabilities", "Advanced Features", "Technical Details", etc.
  2. Create a summary: Extract the main points or key information from the text and create a concise summary.
  3. Organize by feature: Group related features or capabilities together, such as "Content Generation", "Knowledge Base", "Reasoning Capabilities", etc.

Please let me know if any of these options sound helpful!

On the other hand, when I use the same prompt with llama3 it work perfectly.
