    Yeah, but depending on your location (and usage), you might be burning more than $5/mo in electricity to run that shit. Not to mention the costs of buying all that hardware … especially at current inflated rates.

    If you have to buy 128GB of RAM in 2026, it’s going to be a long time before you come out ahead vs paying $20/mo for some AI subscription.

      Yeah that’s true, depending on the electricity costs, you could be better on a subscription. Especially with DeepSeek, which is incredibly cheap now.
