When I did something similar in a Software Engineering course, we forked the repository first. Our professor obtained permission from the authors as well. Your response was understanding and kind.
This begs the question, is chat an indicator of ability? I would suggest not as how you converse with a coding agent changes as you learn. This is new to most of us - we're still trying to get a grip on it while it changes daily.
Also, if you had a rubric, you could just make it a training document after hiring the engineer using normal methods. Problem solved.
I like the idea, but performance is not described. What are the FP8 TOPS? When you pay for a monthly subscription, not only do you performance higher than a local model, but also performance increases as they become available. With this unit (the CPU/RAM specification is also absent) the hardware you get is the hardware you will always have.
If you are going to compare the price of your product directly to the price of a subscription, you are obligated to describe the differences because it is not an apples-to-apples comparison.
You're going to want to include some sort of multi-agent ecosystem because using it for just "chat" or "RAG" is so 2025 ...
Have you given any thought to using symbolic regression? Copilot suggested looking for:
1. Leptonic CP‑violating phase δPMNS
2. θ₂₃ octant (PMNS)
3. Neutrino mass ordering (NO/IO)
I admit I am not qualified even to understand what my post means let alone find the answer, but it sounded pretty convincing.
