It can work for some things, but you have to be careful AF.

Most of the 'reasoning' models are already doing this or web searches to make sure answers are sane. Hallucinations are still all over the place, but they're processing the request multiple times on multiple models and only giving you back answers that don't have too many red flags.

I was told to test out what it could do for translation. Single model translate was in the ballpark but rarely really great. translate your shipment has arrived to french.

Then take the suggested output to a local model, say i was told this was the proper translation for "your shipment has arrived" in French where the context is it's an airdrop from a plane and it's a crate full of food.

rate this translation from 1 to 5, 1 being poor and 5 being excellent and give me examples why you thing it's rated that way

take that back to the first model,

I was told that this was an acceptable translation, but a better one might be ....

Then i took the output and put it up against our professional translations.

both models spitballing off each other were at least acceptable 99% of the time, and once in a while the output was more accurate than the professional service we were paying to do it.

We still use the professional service, but I vet their output now.
