They said it has a crappy GPU, the whole computer probably only uses 200 - 250 watts.

  No way. 768GB of ram will have significant power draw. DDR4 (which this probably is) is something like 3W/8GB. That's > 250W alone. So, say 500W. That's, for me in my expensive electricity city, $40/million tokens, with the pretty severe rate limit of 5600 tokens/hours. If you're in Texas, that would be closer to $10/million tokens! Now you're at the same price as GPT-4o.

    But you can run and experiment with any model of your liking. And your data does not leave your desktop environment. You can build services. I don't think anybody doing this is doing it to save $20 a month.

      Yes. I was only making a monetary comparison. Related, you can get a whole lot of cloud computing for $2k, for those same experiments, on much faster hardware. But yes, the data stays local. And, it's fun. This comment chain is pretty funny.
