My understanding is that if you want to eg load your company employee handbook (~20 page PDF) into a model you're likely to get much better results with RAG than with fine-tuning – can you fine tune such that the model reliable answers questions about something that small?

Llama3-70B Ranks 5th in LMSys Arena Early Results
By
–
very early LMSys Arena results peg llama3-70B at 5th place (the variance is still pretty high, so it can jump up or down a bit).
This is so exciting.
Can't wait to see how the 405B fares once it is released. https://
