paul_cal: cheap eval design doubles as robustness check across existing benchmarks
paul_cal · x · 2026-11-08
paulcal argues a new eval design's smartness lies in how cheap it is to build and how it can be applied to many existing benchmarks — a useful robustness check on desirable outcomes that he'd guess correlates (maybe at 0.5) with benchmaxxing.
