when running your “Eval Factory” -> runs should encourage finding tasks that separate models by intelligence
never perfect bc models are spiky but traces where 6.1 Terra fails & Sol passes are super valuable resources to understand intelligence & then build the next round of evals on
you quickly get to understand what stuff is easy vs hard for each new model generation
i have a big eval graveyard of tasks that were interesting but not hard enough for Astra/Sol/Opus/Argon
but they were challenging ( <40% pass @ k) for Luna/terra/sonnet
i hoard those in a repo instead of throwing away all that compute 😭 ->
often useful for
1. building curriculums for small/medium open mocks on a particular domain (like visual reasoning)
2. having an artifact that shows how model strength is separated across tasks and why
it’s fine to hoard evals, useful data to have!
