Yes, you'd need some kind of edge computing to actually cowork with for this architecture. For now, I would recommend stick with some Tier 1 models like Claude sonnet 4.5, GPT 5.2, etc.
But I highly believe open source models will catch up soon and there are lots of potentials there comparing to closed cloud models.
