I feel the point of pytest is to spot regressions in properties you can assert deterministically (e.g. length, or that the model does mention some things) while evals are for vibe checks and further refine the dataset for future fine tuning / few shots.

i was recently asked to provide 4 "desert island" RL papers.
if i were stuck on a desert island i'd hope to have something better to read than #RL papers... but anyway, here's a thread with my choices, maybe you can read them on your flight to @neuripsconf.bsky.social #NeurIPS2024 .
Enjoy!

I tried adding few shots and it does help a lot. Without them, it uses `groupby` everywhere. sigh.
