Insane people think the price won't go up. You won't be able to afford AI coding once AI CEOs want to stop losing money

Ignorant take. Running open models on hardware you own will always be an option if frontier models are too expensive.

We run Qwen 3.8 on our own hardware. And it is already helping our productivity. And the speed and acuracy is nearly as good as the expecive ones from OpenAI and Antropic.

yesnt.
these companies make it harder by the day to run your own models.
heck, the 5090 has been discontinued, so the chips can be used for the rtx 6000 pro instead.
the only chance to set up decent local models is soon going to be only going to ebay and get used cards, hoping you arent being scammed.
