Russia is running out of refined oil to power their economy. They probably aren't capable of spinning up datacenters to run those.

The cost would be between 100k-250k, to run approx 88 agents leveraging the best open source models available.

I'm just saying, where this is actually applicable we are not seeing it being demonstrated. You would presume the entire energy infrastructure of Europe would be under constant AI hacking barrage, criminal enterprise would be breaking into poorly secured financial institutions and r/r4r posts would be littered Ai con-artists.

I'm just wondering, again, is this mostly bullshit?

They don’t need to run their own DCs, just pay for a proxy somewhere in the world that has better access to the infrastructure. We know North Korea has been doing that in the US since years now
