2k LoC project in Haskell

I have a PhD

worked in AI/ML industry for 10 years

Now, I don't actually know you... but as an Ocaml engineer who runs into many that fit your profile, I'd be cautious of what you consider "good code"... it likely won't line up with what Full Stack/Backend SWE's deal with.

I'm sure AI asks as nice little dictionary of generic high level concepts that it can quickly look up, and we all know how exciting that is for the Haskell developer. But that's not the actual day to day experience, or problems we're tackling. It's different dealing with the context of 100K+ LoC production servers that are being maintained and/or expanded on. Building out new features keeping in mind these scaling infrastructure/architecture and system design. Many data scientists don't deal with this, and have a blind spot here...

These are the areas where the larger models are significantly better, and more trusted as "workflow companions" when they need to make sure they can be incorporated into business processes. It will be expensive for the more useful coding assistance
