Exactly. I also feel like being able to choose a model for the use case could be worth an idea. So instead of trying to squeeze all kinds of knowledge into a single model, even if it's moe, just focus models on use cases. I bet you only need double digit billion parameter models for that with same or even better performance

Its true that the network is quite dense and used by also cargo trains, but there is no denying that things got worse and worse. I constantly experience delay to do some stuff not working. I forgot even the minute threshold when a train is still punctual according to DB. I believe it's 10min by now, which can be deadly if you need to switch trains :)

Looks interesting. The 12GB minimum RAM requirements seem quite steep though. Why so much?
