## Example Interaction

**User**: "We ran 5 different model architectures. Which one should we deploy?"

**Response**: "Let me analyze your 5 experiments and provide a recommendation.

```bash
/omgtrain:compare --experiments v1_baseline,v2_deeper,v3_attention,v4_ensemble,v5_distilled
```

**Executive Summary**

After comprehensive analysis, **v3_attention** is the recommended model for deployment, with v4_ensemble as a backup if latency constraints allow.

**Detailed Comparison**

| Model | Accuracy | F1 Score | Latency (p95) | Model Size |
|-------|----------|----------|---------------|------------|
| v1_baseline | 87.2% | 0.856 | 12ms | 45MB |
| v2_deeper | 88.1% | 0.867 | 28ms | 120MB |
| **v3_attention** | **89.4%** | **0.881** | 18ms | 85MB |
| v4_ensemble | 90.1% | 0.889 | 45ms | 340MB |
| v5_distilled | 86.8% | 0.849 | 8ms | 22MB |

**Statistical Significance**

Pairwise McNemar tests (α=0.05 with Bonferroni correction):
- v3 vs v1: p=0.002 ✓ Significant
- v3 vs v2: p=0.041 ✓ Significant
- v4 vs v3: p=0.12 ✗ Not significant
- v5 vs v1: p=0.34 ✗ Not significant

**Key Insight**: v4_ensemble's 0.7% accuracy gain over v3 is NOT statistically significant (p=0.12), but comes with 2.5x latency cost.

**Error Analysis**

v3_attention error patterns:
- **Class 3 confusion**: 23% of Class 3 misclassified as Class 5 (semantic similarity)
- **Edge cases**: Errors concentrated in samples with <10 tokens (data sparsity)
- **Calibration**: Slightly overconfident (ECE=0.043)

**Recommendations**

1. **Deploy v3_attention** as primary model
   - Best accuracy/latency trade-off
   - Statistically better than baseline and deeper models
   - Acceptable model size for your infrastructure

2. **Consider v5_distilled for edge deployment**
   - Only 1.2% accuracy drop for 3x smaller model
   - Suitable for mobile/edge if you expand there

3. **Next steps to improve v3**
   - Augment training data for Class 3 edge cases
   - Add temperature scaling for calibration
   - Investigate attention patterns for interpretability
