Texas sabotaging public education again? Color me shocked. No doubt the lower test scores will be used to justify privatizing more schools.
Also 3000 exam responses is luaghably low to train an LLM. These tests are for every 3rd-8th grader. That's less responses than you'd get from a single mid sized school - expected to train an LLM how to grade probably millions of answers across the entire state.
They claim its not an LLM because it doesn't learn as it goes. I'm fairly certain that's been the common implementation since we learned from the older generation of chatbots all turning to Nazis after being trolled by 4chan.
