Some of the math I see in this thread justifying local LLM hardware reminds me of “hobby math” where someone wants to justify a hobby expenditure and tortures the comparisons until they think they’re winning.

You do local LLM stuff either because you’re strict about privacy or because you want to play with it.

Any argument that you’re going to replace a Claude subscription with a highly quantized model at 20 tokens/sec is delusional thinking.
