If you can afford a computer that can run LLMs, sure.

"afford" in this case has to be compared to the cost of renting.

Of course. Someone who pays 150$ a year for Claude Pro would need years to get to a 4k machine.

150$/month, for year...

I've seen businesses that made the infrastructure to share a 100k machine. They needed it "on premise", but the setup did not look too hard and the results were outstanding compared to Claude Opus.

Claude Pro is 15$/month. Not everybody can afford 150$/month.
