If it gets too expensive, then I guess the alternative becomes using something like Continue.dev or Cline with one of the providers like Scaleway that you can rent GPUs from or that have managed inference… either that, or having a pair of L4 cards in a closet somewhere (or a fancy Mac, or anything else with a decent amount of memory). Whereas if there are no well priced options anywhere (e.g. the upfront investment for a company to buy their own GPUs to run with Ollama or something else), then that just means that running LLM based systems nowadays is economically infeasible for many.
