Old papers were doing so. Yet now that we decided that NN are bricks that should be trained leaving no data out, we do not care about statistical significance anymore. Anyway test set is probably partially included in the training set of the fondation model you downloaded. It started with Deepmind and RL where experiments where very expensive to run (Joelle Pineau had a nice talk about theses issues). Yet as alpha_whatever are undeniable successes researcher pursued this path. Now go for useless confidence intervals when a training is worth 100 millions in compute... Nah, better rate the outputs by a bunch of humans.
