Local LLaMA thread says search first

The post is a reminder that “best model” is the wrong abstraction for time-sensitive queries; local inference alone will always lag reality.

• –One reply explicitly points to tool calling plus a SearXNG-style search layer as the workable fix
• –The thread reflects a common local-LLM constraint: many models still carry a 2025-era knowledge cutoff
• –For developers, the meaningful tradeoff is reasoning quality versus freshness, not just parameter count
• –Offline-first setups need retrieval if they want current events, schedules, or fast-moving product info
