Would you fine-tune an assistant on a new price list to...

A strong answer rejects the premise of fine-tuning for dynamic data like pricing. Fine-tuning a 27B model requires significant GPU resources (approx. 1,324 GPU-hours) and becomes obsolete as soon as the next price change occurs. In contrast, the same investment in compute can support roughly 15 million retrieval-augmented queries, making RAG the superior architectural choice for frequently updated information.
