Useful showdown. With local completion the thing that decides the winner is rarely raw model quality, it's the integration: latency, how it handles context from open files, and whether it degrades gracefully when the local model is unsure. A slightly weaker model with tighter editor integration beats a better one that stalls. The honest setup is local for fast routine completion, with a fallback to a hosted model for the hard multi-file stuff. That fast-vs-good routing is the same call I make in Moonshift. Which won on the latency-vs-quality tradeoff for you day to day?
