A parking-meter office must decide tonight's work: rewrite the standing instructions, run a LoRA-style adaptation on a small gold set, or retrieve the latest rate tables at ask-time. Facts change weekly; tone should sound like the traffic commissioner. Which experiment, or order of experiments, should they run, and which stack customizes a model?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Rates change weekly; tone should sound like the commissioner. Prompt for tone now, retrieve the latest rate tables at ask-time, and name NeMo only if they later customize the model. Do not bake weekly facts into a PEFT adapter, and do not start with NIM or an ingest-plus-safety mash-up.
Full Explanation
Changing facts favor retrieval at ask-time; changing tone can start as a prompt, with PEFT only if style still needs a weight update. Baking weekly rates into adapters makes the model stale by next week. NeMo is the official customization stack when the work is to adapt the model, not when the work is to serve an endpoint. Associate selection orders the experiment from the cheapest fit and leaves ingest detail and safety filters to later domains.
