A user explored the effectiveness of repeated generation and self-evaluation for large language models (LLMs) using the Gemma 4 12B model. The experiment involved generating timestamp-anchored summaries of YouTube video transcripts and having the LLM evaluate which summary was superior. The findings indicated that while initial judgments showed a bias towards later responses, this could be mitigated by swapping candidate positions. The self-evaluation process proved to be statistically significant, suggesting that generating multiple summaries and having the model select the best one is a viable approach without needing exhaustive pairwise comparisons.
