Helped: Local models for codebase explanation and cheap skill execution.
… Occasionally, we'll also have the local model _review_ the changes of GPT/Opus - and it can return duds, but also insights the larger model overlooked, or was too intelligent to pick out. So yes - absolutely blazing fast at understanding a codebase, very good at running skills "cheaply" and could be used with larger models as a "helper" / sub-agent.
