Model evals are repeatable tests for capability, reliability and regressions. They appear in SVG comparisons, Doom tests and benchmarks, helping devs choose models with evidence.
The essay argues that coding assistants can raise visible throughput while weakening debugging instinct, system intuition and independent reasoning.
Takeaway
We should retain deliberate debugging, unfamiliar-system investigations and review work in the workflow, rather than measuring growth only through ticket throughput.
The post compares several named models on the same lighthouse-at-night SVG prompt, but the supplied material does not include their outputs.

How does LoRA fine-tuning work?
LoRA freezes a model, then trains small low-rank adapter matrices that steer its outputs. It cuts memory and storage costs, useful in Remiqora for training music styles locally.
