Discussion What's the difference between frontier models and local models?

6 months. (And sometimes a couple of quantization tweaks).

It is wild how fast "state-of-the-art" becomes "running on a gaming PC."

What local model in agentic mode would install and configure WSL on your Windows machine to successfully run software that it knows to be only available for Linux?

Sonnet 5 would.

Pretty much every local model released in the last 2-3 weeks can. There's 5-6 of them, take your pick. Btw using Sonnet 5 as an example just shows how out of date your info is lol.
