Distribution of query-based tasks to on-network ai models

A method, comprising:

• identifying user input indicating a query;
• determining one or more first capabilities of a first artificial intelligence (AI) model executable on a first device connected to a local area network (LAN);
• determining one or more second capabilities of a second AI model executable on a second device connected to the LAN;
• based on the determinations, assigning a first task to the first AI model to address the query and assigning a second task to the second AI model to address the query;
• and
• coordinating the first and second tasks to address to the query.

An apparatus, comprising:

• at least one computer readable storage medium (CRSM) that is not a transitory signal, the at least one CRSM comprising instructions executable by a processor system to:
• determine one or more first capabilities of a first model executable on a first device connected to a network;
• determine one or more second capabilities of a second model executable on a second device connected to the network;
• based on the determinations, assign a first task to the first model to address a query and assign a second task to the second model to address the query;
• and
• coordinate the first and second tasks to respond to the query.
