My poorly informed hope is that that we can have mixture of experts with highly tuned models on areas of focus. If I'm coding in language Foo, I only care about a model that understands Foo and its ecosystem. I imagine that should be self-hostable now.

A model that only understands, say, Java is useless : you need a model that understands English and some kind of reasoning and has some idea of how the human world works, and also knows Java. The vast majority of the computational effort is spent on the first two, the second is almost an afterthought. So, a model that can only program in Java is not going to be meaningfully smaller than a model that can program in ~all programming languages.

my suspicion is that this is not how intelligence works. creativity comes from cross breeding ideas from many domains.
