Compared to Opus local models Opus 5.5 is far superior, also for something like a dgx spark at 5k that would be 25 months ignoring power costs if you chose the $200 plan.

And that’s looking at a large model, to host the equivalent sized model as Opus 5.5 you’d need more than a single dgx spark. A fairer comparison would be to Open models hosted remotely or comparable weak models like Luna which you would get away with a $100 plan or less. That also doesn’t account for token prices continuing to go down for the same level of intelligence.
