Seems fine to me. For a note on the second part (enabling comparisons), you'll need to be aware that these build jobs can be pre-empted and canceled if multiple merges happen in a short time frame. Your comparison scripts should compare to the most recent upload and not assume that the latest commit will have a result uploaded. You might need to look back several commits to find a job that completed.

we generally try to refrain from doing GPU tests on branch builds due to our limited GPU capacity.

is there any reason this can't be moved to the nightly test workflow?

Seems fine to me. I think you'll have to trigger this manually for now, which should be fine for testing.

We do have the same job in test.yaml, so that will be run nightly and for on-demand runs I've created a new dedicated yaml.
