This is why I don't understand why everyone's freaking out about it. By far the biggest problem with LLM classifiers is that they treat every individual business as the blurry average of all businesses in their training data. Being lighter is fine if you control for everything else, but at least at my company we would actually have room for a significantly more expensive / slower classifier if it were demonstrably better at following instructions.
