I also found that interesting but our evaluation methodology is quite different, so I didn’t go too deep into it

It does, tbh I was also surprised by the results!

Thank you! Will take a look at your results. I couldn't find much when I first looked into this, which is why I ended up writing the article.

Same for me. I actively ask the LLM to write as few tests as possible. Otherwise you end up redundant and low value ttests.

I have the same experience with local models. I really want to use them, but right now, they're not on par with propietary models on capabilities nor speed (at least if you're using a Mac).

I’ve worked with great engineers from India/Pakistan. I didn’t hire them, so don’t know too much about the process of how to find them but they were definitely as good as anyone I’ve seen in Europe.

I live in Spain. I’ve been in the industry for the last 10 years. I’ve seen from a very close distance several European companies move a big part of their operations to India. Have had close friends laid off recently and seen them struggle

Makes sense! I like the slider idea, but not sure if it’d introduce some bias to the results.

Hey OP, I found some issues with your code: During SFT, it uses the full training dataset[1]: df = pd.read_csv('data/extraction_training_data.csv') And during the evaluation, it uses the middle part of the same dataset[2]: df
