I finetuned Gemma 3 1B PT (not IT) to read RSS news and react like a house cat. Runs decently (for this use-case) on a little 2W (max) ARM SBC using < 0.7GB of RAM. Small LLMs are amazing when finetuned. Takes no instructions, just a headline, and outputs perfectly structured responses every time 💪

I was on the fence about Epic Universe until night fell. It's like 10x more immersive at night. It really needs to have a midnight closing time, not 9pm.

Do other fields have this issue or is it unique to crypto? Suspiciously LLM-like github contributors with hidden activity spamming very minor PRs across every popular project in the space. Is this for airdrops or something more sinister? 🤔
