> Supposedly the performance of Owen-coder is comparable to the likes of Sonnet4. If I invest in a homelab that can host something like Qwen3 I'll recoup my costs in about 20 months without having to rely on Anthropic. You can always try it via openrouter without investing in the home setup first. That allows you to evaluate whether it hits your quality bar or not, and is much cheaper. It is less fun than self-hosting though.
