Frontier power, only when it's worth it
The privacy objection to local AI is really a power objection: "am I stuck with small models?" Routing answers it.
Day to day, your questions run on your device: free, private, instant. When a question genuinely needs more - current information, hard reasoning, a specialist - routing can escalate exactly that question to a frontier model, and the receipt under the reply tells you which model answered and why.
The modes are the consent: "Auto - Offline Only" never goes online; "Auto - Online and Offline" may, by rules you can read in plain language in Settings. Online use comes out of your plan's monthly allowance with fair metered pricing above it - most days cost nothing.
How it works
- 1
Pick a mode per AI
Offline Only, Online and Offline, or a specific model when you want no routing at all.
- 2
Read the rules
Settings → Routing explains what happens automatically - health stays local, current-events questions can use web search with cited sources, hard questions can escalate - plus a live list of recent routing decisions and why.
- 3
Tune it
Prefer fastest or strongest on-device. Privacy-first to freshness-first online. Per-category picks for which online model handles what, with prices shown up front.
- 4
Second opinions
Under any reply: "Try this answer online" or "Redo on your device". The choice is per-question, never silent.
