Kind of a big deal. We can now monitor and track air pollution by the hour. ESA Sentinel-4 can beam back hourly data on nitrogen dioxide hotspots & sulfur dioxide plumes. This is a massive leap for public health & air quality forecasting. See Northern Italy 😱

Using Lora I fine-tuned the 550MB Gemma 270m model into an agri "expert" 😂 on my laptop with a Q&A dataset and HF Transformers! Evaluating with Gemini CLI shows mixed results including "Cement and plastic fertilizer". Still mind-blown by the size and massive potential for these specialized models.
