Explore and Evaluate Models using Model Garden

Why it matters

Model Garden is a discovery and evaluation surface, not a reason to choose a model by brand or headline capability. Architects still need workload-specific evidence.

What to practise

Inspect model cards, compare model families, and experiment with prompts against a concrete use case while recording the constraints that would influence selection.

How it fits

This exercise follows the model-sourcing and Model Garden Bites in subsection 3.1. Use it to distinguish discovery-time evidence from production evaluation and deployment decisions.
