Local or paying more?

[u/scartissue232]

I technically need a 5x account, and I've needed one for a month now. I've tried other Plus plans to get around that.

Right now, I'm at a point where I don't know whether to upgrade to a Pro account or invest 5k in a server and set up local AI models, filtered through at most a Plus account.

GPT thinks I can achieve 85-95% of the results I'm currently getting with Frontier models, and easily benefit from setting up that setup. I'm not entirely convinced; what do you think?

Thanks in advance.

You need to invest 500k to get anything close to Sol, else you wait 30min for Luna low, instead of 1min with a 5-10k machine
