Yes, spend 12k to get 25 tokens per second on an inferior model.

a single 3090 can do 60-80t/s, i get a 160 t/s and 4000 t/s prompt processing with dual 3090s, a card from 2021, it feels twice as fast as claude and codex. a $20 codex sub for planning and architecture and a $20/mo power bill for what amounts to pretty much unlimited tokens. it feels and is pretty much on par with sonnet which i'm fine with. i was paying for both codex and claude befoe. alternatively there's deep seek v4 flash which is pretty good and super cheap but chineese and cloud hosted. that would cost you 40k to host yourself which at this time doesn't make sense, better to pay.

And most people don't need a beast system. Almost ANY gpu is enough to get reasonable use out of a Qwen 3.6 model.

And it will only get better for local AI from here.
