I solved Gemma 4's biggest problem by routing it through Claude, and all it took was a Python script

Running Gemma 4 locally has a hallucination problem: it confidently fabricates facts, product specs, and recent events rather than admitting uncertainty. A Python script solution routes queries based on type — stable tasks like writing and brainstorming stay with Gemma, while fact-sensitive or recency-dependent queries (pricing, news, product comparisons) are automatically forwarded to Claude's API. The script also detects hedging language patterns in Gemma's responses as a secondary trigger for escalation. The result is a hybrid local/cloud setup that keeps most queries private and free while using Claude only when factual accuracy matters, minimizing API costs.
