Worse than the chart crime of truncating the y axis is putting LLaMa2's Human Eval scores on there and not comparing it to Code Llama Instruct 70b. DBRX still beats Code Llama Instruct's 67.8 but not by that much.
To be fair, they do compare to it in the main body of the blog. It's just probably misleading to compare to CodeLLaMA on non coding benchmarks.
If you chart the temperature of the ocean do you keep the y-axis anchored at zero Kelvin?
In a chart of world gross domestic product for the last 12 months, when was it at zero?
In a chart of ocean salinity, when was it at absolute zero?
Is it inherently deceptive to use a y-axis that doesn't begin at zero?
