Rethinking Scale: The Efficacy of Fine-Tuned Open-Source LLMs in Large-Scale Reproducible Social Science Research

Large language models (LLMs) are distinguished by their architecture, parameter size, and performance capabilities. Social scientists have increasingly adopted LLMs to automate high-dimensional text classification tasks which are difficult to scale with human coders. Very large, closed-source models often deliver super...
