You can easily run a quant of this on a DGX Spark though. Seems like a small investment if it meaningful improves Lean productivity.

Is it though?

Most people I know that use agents for building software and tried to switch to local development, every single time they switch back to Claude/codex.

It's just not worth it. The models are that much better and continue to get released / improve.

And it's much cheaper unless you're doing like 24/7 stuff.

Even on the $200/m plan, that's cheaper than buying a $3k dgx or $5k m4 max with enough ram.

Not to mention you can no longer use your laptop as a laptop as the power draw drains it - you'd need to host separately and connect
