Local models are still quite far from the frontier for complete zero dependence on the frontier. The advisor escalation to a cloud-based frontier model approach addresses this issue, allowing for a hybrid agentic inference system. On Terminal Bench 2.1, escalation lifts the score from 59.6% to 73.0% at $0.415 per rollout, recovering about three-fifths of the frontier gap at two-thirds of the cost.
