Visit Show HN: Sunk Cost – How long until a local LLM rig pays for itself? ↗
I kept hearing "just buy a Mac and run models locally, it pays for itself" and wanted to check. Sunk Cost takes a machine, a model and how many tokens you use a day, and works out how long the hardware takes to pay back against renting the same model by the token.<p>Obviously there are other reasons to buy your own hardware aside from just saving money on llms but this is just looking at it from a raw cost saving perspective.<p>If you have any ideas on how I can make this more helpful lmk!
