That's not how it works. Whether local or hosted, every modern model has a cutoff date for its training data, and can be leveraged by agents / harnesses / tools to fetch context from the internet or wherever.

Local ones that support tool use can do the same

You can do that locally too!
I’m not sure why a model needs to be hosted in order to make network calls?
