But they can't? The usage pattern is the polar opposite. Most people running these models locally just ask a few questions to it throughout the day. They want the answers now, or at least within a minute.

If you want the answer right now, that alone ups your compute needs to the point where you're probably better off just using a free hosted-AI service. Unless the prompt is trivial enough that it can be answered quickly by a tiny local model.

A strix halo machine or MAC will run at less than 20watts idle. You could leave it running.
