If you're using the models to assist with coding—y'know, what this thread is about?—then they'll need to know about the language being used.

If you're using them for particular frameworks or libraries in that language, they'll need to know about those, too.

If training becomes uneconomical, new advances in any of these will no longer make it into the models, and their "help" will get worse and worse over time, especially in cutting-edge languages and technologies.

This thread is about coding agents, of which a model is only one (important) part.
