Would love to have a small local model that only knows about rails and mvc web development

Alternatively, a modular model with multiple “experts” that I could mix and match for my specific stack

I don’t need the model to know all of the Internet plus 20 different human languages. I just want it to be really good with the stack of the project

LLMs shine through emergent behaviour. Finding an LLM that does Rails doesn't know poetry is like finding a Rails human developer who doesn't have a hobby e.g. basketball. So what if they play basketball? They can code too!
Then it might need a new type of architecture to work. I’m not attached to LLMs. If a new model comes out that can do only the things I want it do it, then great
Sure. I'd use it too. I am just not sure they have that trade off to make. Yet (maybe with more research)
