Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? The OpenAI gpt-4o reference model outperformed all quantised models on human-rated coherence (4.5 vs 3.61–3.89) and achieved the highest fluency (4.28), relevance (4.44) and cultural appropriateness (4.22) scores. → Nwogo 2026

q2 · i? · design · r2
Human evaluation figures (Figs. 6–9) report gpt-4o above all quantised models on each Likert-rated dimension; the authors describe it as "an upper benchmark for human-like expression". Scores are descriptive means from the 18-response survey.
"Figure 7 shows that the OpenAI gpt-4o reference model outperformed all quantised models, providing highly coherent responses, with well- connected ideas and smooth narrative flow suitable for pro- fessional and academic settings."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Higher-bit quantisation (8-bit) better preserves structural coherence and semantic alignment in a Pidgin-fine-tuned LLM, achieving the highest ROUGE-L (0.3120) and BERTScore (0.8590) among the quantised models — related
- Under FSM metrics, GPT-3.5-Turbo outperforms GPT-4o-Mini, reversing that model's higher rank on coding-oriented leaderboards — related
- FSM-based evaluation discriminates interactive quality across models, with GPT-5 Mini scoring highest and most tiers significantly separated — related
- On benchmarks, GPT-3.5-turbo outperformed the fine-tuned Phi model in knowledge and story completion, while PhinetunEd scored best in story generation — related
- Cohort members predominantly used off-the-shelf multimodal LLMs, mostly OpenAI's GPT, and nearly all combined closed and open source models
- Native speakers rated outputs of LLMs fine-tuned on Nigerian Pidgin English as understandable and context-aware, though no non-fine-tuned baseline was evaluated — related
