Foundry-Local, alongside community runtimes like LocalAI and cua's sandboxes, points to a first-party push to run agents locally with GPU acceleration and OpenAI-compatible APIs. For cost- and privacy-sensitive loops that fan out lots of cheap subagent calls, a local runtime behind the same API is becoming a practical option next to frontier cloud. Route the cheap fan-out local, keep the frontier for verification. Same pattern as the Grok routing point above.
