It inspired me to do some experimenting with the system prompt and I found that the model doesn't actually prefer more context but rather it just needs tools in its system prompt. My guess is that they trained it in agentic scenarios (search, weather, etc)
By adding tools that the llm would never think of using in the user supplied context it prevents the llm from fake calling the tools while keeping reasoning extremely low, here is the system prompt:
You are an AI assistant equipped with specific tools. Evaluate the user's input and call the appropriate tool(s) if necessary. You have access to the following 10 tools: <tools> 1. check_mars_pebble_movement code JSON { "name": "check_mars_pebble_movement", "description": "Checks if a specific, microscopic pebble in the
