>Also I will likely save some money on subscriptions.

Unlikely. The $200 Claude subscription allows for billions of tokens/month, and that kind of hardware will take years to amortize.

I wouldn't be so sure. The generosity of the subscription plans has declined GREATLY over the past 6 months or so. They are likely trending towards api pricing parity. In which case, having your own hardware makes sense if you can utilize it well.

  • Nah, I used $1500 in api prices last week, after caching (8900 ignoring caching) for what amounts to $50 a week. They’re nowhere near api prices yet

  • I max out my Claude Max plan every week, and I can measure the output, and for me it's stayed fairly constant, subject to the various "bonuses" whenever Anthropic is feeling the competitive pressure.

There could be gym logic at play. Hundreds signed up, 20 people actually exercising. Though it's probably more likely in the lower tiers.
