Model repos should ship plotting code so new results can be compared cleanly

The author wants model repositories to include the matplotlib/seaborn code used to generate the paper’s figures. That would make it easier to drop in newer results and compare them against the original visuals instead of recreating plots from scratch.

They note that coding agents can partially solve the problem by recreating plots from a prompt, but argue that shipping the plotting code alongside the repo would still make apples-to-apples comparisons much easier for downstream work.
