Improving local models with an API based "consultant"?

The article discusses the concept of enhancing local AI workflows by integrating an API-based "consultant" agent, specifically referencing GLM 5.2, to assist in refining plans and learnings. This approach suggests a hybrid model where local processing is augmented by the capabilities of a more powerful external API, potentially improving the performance and adaptability of local models. For practitioners, this integration could provide a pathway to leverage advanced capabilities without sacrificing the benefits of local model deployment.
