why not buy one of those "a.i" desktop kits being sold by Nvidia/AMD and just connect to them via network ?

to me that's cheaper than paying an LLM provider such as Anthropic spreading FUD around open weight models & more sustainable too.

It's still currently way cheaper to pay open router to run qwen for you. And you have the option to use much bigger better models like DeepSeek v4 flash.
