I don’t know of some easy-to-describe bar, but as one anecdote, this post by Matthew Rahtz was easily enough to clear the “should interview” bar, and went most of the way to the “should hire” bar, when I was looking at applicants for the CHAI internship. It would also have been enough to clear the “should interview” bar at DeepMind.
I also like this 80K podcast on the topic, and in general I might recommend looking at my FAQ (though it doesn’t cover this question particularly).
