You still need to learn the names of models, understand their use cases, concepts like MoE, then you have different architectures like diffusion vs transformers, agents etc.

And then you have GenAI like flux and all the open source projects.

I think it's beneficial to get all of that and then keeping an eye on it to catch the moment when it becomes relevant for you and not being surprised and too late.

Why? When you think you might need something just search for it. There are too many models with incremental improvements

To have enough context in your mind to understand things faster and remember easier.

Getting it and also remembering it properly are different things.

And it might just be an hour installing ollama and UI tools and playing with it but it gives you a lot of Anker points/experiences .
