I used Gemini 1.5 a few times and found it totally useless.
Today I got 2.0 and I was like « wow it’s actually great ».

Russian spies—likely Russia's GRU intelligence agency—used a new trick to hack a victim in Washington, DC: They remotely infected another network in a building across the street, hijacked a laptop there, then breached the target organization via its Wifi. www.wired.com/story/russia...

So if I were to want to fine tune an LLM on a 4090 to a specific knowledge domain, what model should I start with today? Or are there better solutions?(e.g. renting cloud A100)
