User seeks best local LLM for theoretical physics learning

A user on the r/LocalLLaMA subreddit is seeking recommendations for the best local large language models to assist with learning theoretical physics. They have found success using LLMs to explain complex textbook sections and answer specific questions, having already progressed through introductory quantum mechanics and special relativity. The user is now looking to tackle general relativity but is encountering limitations with smaller models like Qwen and Mistral, and is seeking advice on alternative models or fine-tunes for this specialized learning task.

    Best local model for theoretical physics?

    <!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I have a somewhat specific question in case anyone has experience with this. I am a big fan of CS, math, and physics. While I was able to get formal instruction for the first two, I was never able to get the opportunity to learn physics. The most…
