The author is building a local CLI multi-agent setup for daily development, tackling a common pain point: getting top-tier code quality without burning API credits on trivial tasks.
- Instead of relying solely on frontier models or forcing local LLMs beyond their capacity, they test a 5-Tier Closed-Loop Pipeline
- Each task is routed to the most cost-effective model tier
- A strict quality gate at the end enforces output standards
- The post includes a full breakdown of the tiers and asks for feedback on orchestration and cost efficiency
