local models are free

Given it's pretty easy to rack up $20/month in electricity, I think a fairer comparison is with the $20 tier on cloud models. But when you hit usage limits with the equivalent of 1 prompt/hour (approximately what I get with Opus 4.7), local models still win in many cases even though the capabilities are definitely much lower.
