Justy and Cody debate Local-First AI Inference — a pattern that routes most documents to deterministic local extraction while falling back to cloud AI for edge cases. They unpack the signal in the noise: who actually benefits, the clever confidence-gated routing, the real cost savings, and the architectural trade-offs. Then they lay out concrete ways to test the claims over a weekend.
