I pay $20 for codex, use it daily for coding, and still haven't dipped below 50% for weekly usage.
I wouldn't even be able to afford buying 29 gigs of ram, or a new video card with hardware prices the way they are now.
Maybe if it was 2016-2018 prices, I'd think about it.
- root_axis 2mo agoWell, if you only ever needed a $20 subscription's worth of tokens it would never make any sense to buy hardware since even at 2018 prices you could buy 20 years of subscriptions.
- fragmede 2mo agoAssuming $20 subscriptions continue to be available for 20 years. Maybe they will, I don't have a time machine, but $20 subscriptions seem to be the $1 Uber ride level of pricing.
- root_axis 2mo agoSure, I'm just saying, even for "mundane" computing tasks where the hardware is cheap, if you're optimizing for cost, renting hardware is always the better choice.
