Brief

Alex A. (@alexatallah) is rolling out a new evaluation-writing approach and invited people to DM Jacky (@jjacky) to participate. Jacky reports running OpenRouter bakeoff evals to pick the best model for a specific use case and was surprised to find minimax m3 won, stressing that bakeoffs reveal unexpected top performers and that teams should always run model evaluations.

Why it matters

@alexatallah announced a new way to write evals and asked readers to DM Jacky (@jjacky) to try it out.

Key details

  • @jjacky ran OpenRouter model bakeoff evals and found surprising results: the model 'minimax m3' outperformed others for their exact use case.
  • Jacky emphasized that minimax m3 wouldn't have been considered without the bakeoff and reiterated the advice to 'always. run. model. evals.'
