> Gemini will search the web for most things (at least if you are using it via the web search interface), it isn’t limited to the knowledge it was trained on.

If decides to do so, and even then baked in knowledge would influence the result.

In any case I do not need Gemini or any other LLMs to figure out setting for my llama.cpp, thank you very much.

It has always searched the web for me, and it can give me pretty good guidance about a model released in the last week. All models ATM are trying to reduce dependence on internal knowledge mostly through RAG. Anyways, this part of LLMs has gotten much better in the last 6 months.

If you are able to figure out the right settings for a model Thats was released last week, then great for you! But it sounds like you just don’t trust LLMs to use current knowledge, and have some misconception about how they satisfy recent knowledge requests.
