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.
