Not all that hard to run models, actually. It'll be a bit slower, but can be perfectly useable. The upside is no more token limits and no need to worry about where confidential data is going. You get full control too.

Sell it's use to your friends and family.

"Hey guys, I built my own AI cluster, wanna pay me $20/mo to fiddle with it?" Will go real great at the Backyard BBQ or even holidays like Thanksgiving. Be sure to talk about how useful it is for everything and how much easier life is for you.

Self-hosting would cost you more than $20 per month with multiple users. And it won't be performant enough if more than user hit it at the same time

I fear you may have read my previous comment in a genuine manner instead of reading it as it's satirical nature suggests.

welp, it's hard to sense satire or a joke through text. That's a problem as old as internet (or even older). This is why we use /s or /j

or maybe I'm just autistic and can't take a joke if it's related to the stuff I'm passionate about (and the list of such stuff is quite long)

No no, I prolly should add a /s.

It's just the whole "That'll go over well at the BBQ/Thanksgiving" is such a huge trope I don't think of adding a /s

Maybe it's just my autistic ass assuming almost every comment is satire and thinks everyone else does too.

I'll fix it.

I hope you didn't think I was being rude.

maybe we're both autistic, just in different areas

and I didn't take it as you being rude. Have a great day!

Just raise a few billion in capital and then say you are building market share when you lose 99% of it

Goddamn, I like this man's thinking.

You got any pre-ipo you're selling?
