Testing IRL evaluation method saves 20-70% compute cost
xeophon · x · 2026-08-28
The author tested a new IRL-based evaluation sampling method on 400K code traces. The method works, yielding 20-70% cost savings. A recommendation is to avoid the paper's original implementation and instead rewrite the core logic in Rust for better efficiency.
