New benchmark proposed for 'normie' AI users, considering cost

A Reddit user proposed a new benchmark for evaluating large language models, specifically designed for a general audience rather than AI experts. This benchmark would aim to identify models that are "good enough" for everyday users by establishing a 95% confidence interval threshold. The user also suggested incorporating cost considerations, both for on-premises and cloud deployments, to provide a clearer picture of the true cost of AI for average consumers. AI

IMPACT Suggests a new approach to evaluating AI models for broader accessibility and cost-consciousness.
