Yeah it's hard to get good data on what's best. We did read the a good sample amount of essays. Lots of arguments about what made them better, but its uncontroversial that longer ones were more preferred.

Interestingly we trained a simple LORA layer on top of Inkling and it turns out a model can smell which model wrote a response 70% of the time. I wonder if the smell of gemini is just more preferred by students.
