So instead of buying a $20 Anthropic subscription you recommend that the average person go out and buy a couple affordable GPUs and build a home server?
Once the memory cartel is reigned in by CXMT, Apple ships a Home with 512GB unified memory for <$10k. It'll have confidential compute so they'll let you sell tokens and they'll collect 30% for facilitating.

Ant moat is model. If model quality is not an issue for you, there are plenty of provides which will give you access to open models.
I looked into this last week, and it seemed like if I wanted to get something in the Opus 5.5 range I'd be talking about $500k in hardware. Is this actually all much cheaper than I was seeing?
The weights of Kimi K3.1 Pro are 1.56 TB. I guess with four of the upcoming MaixBlade cards from Sipeed you'll be able to run it without quantization but that setup would still be >$50k.

What do you call a couple affordable GPUs?
With couple affordable GPUs you can get it to 200t/s. Macbook is not the best price efficient example. Tensor parallelism is the key, the same technology that they use in the cloud.
