There's a hidden trade-off here: Latency vs Privacy

A local agent has zero ping to your smart home and files, but high latency to the outside world (especially with bad upload speeds). A cloud agent (Cloudflare) has a fat pipe to APIs (OpenAI/Anthropic) and the web, but can't see your local printer.

The ideal future architecture is hybrid. A dumb local executor running commands from a smart cloud brain via a secure tunnel (like Cloudflare Tunnel). Running the agent's brain locally is a bottleneck unless you're running Llama 3 locally
