Capitalism and Artificial Intelligence are the same thing. As AIs grow stronger, they will be turned upon themselves - RSI. Nothing else matters. So everything is right on schedule, it was long predicted that the general public will never b

the same argument was made 2 years ago: "in 2 years we'll be able to run GPT-4 level models on an expensive laptop, most people will be using this instead of the fancy cloud models". we are there, Gemma4/Qwen3.6 are GPT-

obviously depends on your location and GPU for me it would be about $2 per day in electricity to generate 8 mil tok of Gemma4-26B at 4 bit quantization. this is excluding how much the GPU cost (no amortization) ignoring the fact that I coul

There is no subsidy on most OpenRouter providers, they are profitable today. You buy a big GPU, you serve LLMs, you print money.

RAM upgrade possibility has a downside though - very low RAM bandwidth, which is highly relevant today if you want to run local LLMs

if you do the electricity math you'll see that you pay more on local models while getting less (local is more heavily quantized) compared with OpenRouter. I'm not talking local Gemma/Qwen vs cloud Opus, but against OpenRouter

this is an LLM, not a motor cortex. it will output commands as text (json, ...), so comparing size is not very meaningful, especially considering neurons are highly complex and likely requires thousands of artificial simple neurons (weight+
