NiMH AA cells are 1.2V, while alkaline AA is 1.5V, and most devices will accept either. So for good switched power supplies Wh is more important, since that will correlate best with battery life. Of course for linear power supplies or plain

Finetuning uses a limited number of examples and gradient descent to modify network weights, so it doesn't need to modify the prompt. Methods that modify the prompt are generally called "in-context learning" or "prompt t

RGB<->YCbCr is a linear operation, so a deep enough network shouldn't have trouble learning to do the transform if it's useful. Gamma correction might be important, though.
