Local as a verified subagent — but not trusted to touch files alone

This person's take is that local models are about as good as they'll ever be right now, which they mean as encouragement, not a knock — it's already useful. They've found it's fairly safe to route longer, more difficult work to a local Qwen 3.8 27B when a frontier model like Astra or Sol supervises it as a subagent, getting real reach without fully trusting the local model unsupervised. Where they draw a hard line, directly answering the kind of question that started this whole thread, is letting any LLM organize their local files — they consider the risk of it deleting something by mistake too high to take that gamble.
