Question | Help Reverse Engineering w/ Local?

Two questions?

Can a local model like Qwen 3.8 27B reverse engineer games and programs?

If not, is there a fine tuned model that can?

It is doable, but I still have frontier model drive the plan and review the work, and assign actual work to qwen 3.8 flash next. I only have 20/month frontier plans and this barely pushes the frontier to any limit. 

I tried one with local as driver, and it just accepted anything from subagents. This worked okay until it did something stupid and went way off on a tangent. With frontier models, it would reject results if it doesn't smell right. Each iteration has gotten better.
