Currently in FirstView: “Positioning Political Texts with Large Language Models by Asking and Averaging.” @glemens.bsky.social and @ainagallego.bsky.social use a variety of LLMs to take in political texts and position political actors in policy and ideological space.

Can DeepSeek accurately scale political text? @glemens.bsky.social just replicated the analyses of our joint Political Analysis paper with DeepSeek and with the newest version of Llama (Llama 3.3 70B). Overall, DeepSeekV3 performs at a level similar to Llama 3.3, but definitely not better. 1/5
