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 could get more free tokens per day for this model from Google/OpenRouter, it would cost $4 per day on OpenRouter if paid, but they would run it at full 16 bit precission
this would be the most "profitable" model for me
for Gemma4-31B I can generate only 1 mil tok per day, and so I pay more to get less quality than OpenRouter (ignoring that this model is also free on Google)
I know how many tokens per second my computer generates, and I have a wall power meter which measures how many watts my computer is using when generating.
obviously depends on your location and GPU

This is very interesting to me. How do you come up with the kwh/token for your setup?
